Touring back through Maine, the party broke up at Camden. On the last stage of the journey from Bar Harbor to Camden, Governors Trapp (Oklahoma), Robinson (Delaware) and Trinkle (Virginia) traveled aboard the Navy dirigible Shenandoah. Others of the party went by water, as the guests of Edward W. Bok aboard the yacht Cyrus H. K. Curtis...
...Captain Zackery Lansdowne, commander of the Shenandoah, submitted plans to his chief, Secretary Wilbur of the Navy, showing how the big dirigible could fly to the Pole via the mooring-mast at Pulham, England, and her own mast-ship Patoka, which could be sent ahead to Spitzbergen. No intimation came from Washington that this was intended, or would be received, as anything more than a plan...
...British airship R-33, sister ship of the famous K34 which crossed the Atlantic in 1920, repeated, last week, the feat of the U. S. airship Shenandoah, which, last year, went on an unintentional voyage (TIME, Jan. 28, 1924). The R33 was moored to the mast at Pulham airdrome in Norfolk, England, during one of the worst gales known to the windswept English coast. Under the terrific pull of a 50-mile-an-hour wind, she tore away the arm of the mooring mast. The damage inflicted was even worse than in the case of the, Shenandoah. The first...
...With the Shenandoah laid up for lack of helium, the U. S. Navy is using the Los Angeles for systematic flights, designed to extract all possible information for the commercial exploitation of zeppelins. A round-trip from Lakehurst to the Bermudas last week was but one of a series of carefully planned experiments. It was interesting because, for the first time in U. S. history, mail to foreign countries was carried by air. A brief announcement by the Post-Office Department only a day or two before the Los Angeles sailed brought 2,200 letters, 138 postcards and some registered...
...only ones who got any pictures. But their efforts were not highly successful. The results of using hand cameras in rapidly moving planes were not satisfactory. The apparatus has been improved, however, and better results are expected this time from airplanes, which will ascend at Dayton. Likewise the dirigibles Shenandoah and Los Angeles are expected to take the air this year and go out to sea, where the sun will be higher than on land at the time of the eclipse; in addition, they will have the advantage of slower movement than airplanes...
