Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: USS Akron (ZRS-4)
Damage to the airship's lower fin, 22 February 1932. Akron was being removed from her hangar at Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey, when the wind caused her tail to break loose from the rail car used for maneuvering the airship on the ground. A party of Congressmen was waiting to board Akron at the time, and Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, was also present. This photograph was taken immediately after the accident, and shows RAdm. Moffett in the left center, facing the camera. Though her fin was seriously damaged, Akron was repaired in about two months. |
