Leader and inspiration of this lively minority is Commander Charles Emery Rosendahl, who survived the Shenandoah disaster and now heads the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, is the nation's No. 1 airship man. Week after week for years articles and speeches by Commander Rosendahl have peppered the pages of newspapers and aviation magazines. Dozens of expert committees have made reports agreeing with him.
