"Why Has America No Rigid Airships?"
Why indeed!
A recent find on Amazon, which arrived earlier this week and I found myself devouring upon arrival...
The book was published towards the end of 1945, just after WW2 had ended, and P. W. Litchfield, Chairman of the Board of Goodyear Tire and Rubber felt firmly that rigid airships had a place in postwar passenger and freight transportation.
The book is out of print, but as of this posting, there are a handful each of the hardback and softcover versions available used on Amazon.
Things airship related and the back story on operating the Airship Ventures Zeppelin “Eureka” in the USA.

AP Video: Tracking Whales from Above
AP has released their video essay by Ted Warren and Manuel Valdez of our whale research mission from earlier this month, which you can watch below.
Thanks again to Farmers for providing the flight time donation which made this all possible, and to the researchers from NOAA, Woods Hole and Center for Whale Research!

Bye Bye Washington State.

The entire team are advocating for us to go to Seattle more often. The scenery, the people and the hospitality were exceptional - the weather, less so. We unfortunately lost a few flights to weather and the locals told us it "usually isn't this bad", but we wondered if they were just telling us that so we'd come back!
Anyway, we will be back. Thanks for all the fun!
