...they saw her bulk. Then she was a little south of Cuba, then off Jamaica. The trade winds fanned her ahead at a 90 m. p. h. scoot, and at last she, the airship Los Angeles, was at her goal, France Field, Panama Canal Zone. Lieutenant Commander Charles E. Rosendahl had put his airboat across 2,265 miles in 40 hours, her longest non-stop flight since she left Germany (TIME...
Naval bigwigs congratulated Com-mander Charles E. Rosendahl of the Los Angeles exultantly. The test proving that floating filling stations are feasible, widened immeasurable the range of dirigible utility. Commercial dirigible interests eagerly proclaimed that transoceanic airship travel was a more immediate probability now that dirigibles may nose safely down to the vast smooth expanse of landing deck superimposed on aircraft mother ships. The flying deck of the Saratoga is 880 ft. long; the Los Angeles...
Lieut. Commander Charles E. Rosendahl, lord of the Los Angeles, answered: "Auxiliaries." He pointed out that huge hangars; great ground crews; and extraordinarily expensive terminal equipment are requisite for dirigibles. In the U. S. there are only two hangars; Lakehurst and Scott Field, Belleville, Ill. Dirigibles cannot, like ariplanes, be landed on any flat run of ground and wheeled into a convenient shed. They must have home life...
Safety. Hurricanes, electric storms, sudden ground squalls are their enemies. Commander Rosendahl, survivor the Shenandoah smash (TIME, Sept. 14, 1925) believes that the Los Angeles, once in the air, can survive far heavier storms than he permits her to rush. Perhaps, when dirigibles are enlarged, perfected, they will swim the heaviest storms that winds can blow. Helium gas, which fills the bag, will not burn, cannot explode...
...tune of thousands of creaking necks, the Los Angeles soared over curious Manhattan, her third trip to the city but the premier under her new skipper, Lieutenant Commander Charles E. Rosendahl, one of the Navy's most experienced dirigible pilots. Pressing her untremulous way through the foggy May firmament, the silver bulk appeared at times to be perilously near the slim shafts of downtown skyscrapers. Assembled at their posts were 14 survivors of last summer's Shenandoah disaster. Not least among these was the stern-visaged commander. He succeeds Captain George W. Steele Jr., who returns...
