Marvelous archive film. Goodyear and the US Navy had really got airship ground handling down to a fine art. Making what had been difficult operations appear routine. I have always admired their experience and use of mechanical assistance. Their SOP was and still is second to none. I hadn't realised that the tugs had all steering wheels or that it only took seven ground crew to handle these huge ships ! Thanks for showing it.
Questa fantastica, strana macchina per volare è affascinante. Ero piccolo quando ci sono stato sopra per ben tre volte, era un piccolo blimp della Good Year e volava su Roma. Che bel ricordo!
