		An airship is a buoyantIn physics, buoyancy is an upward force on an object immersed in a fluid (i.e.
		Unlike aerodynamic ("heavier-than-air") aircraft which stay aloft by moving an airfoil through the air in order to produce lift, airships stay aloft primarily by means of having a cavity (usually quite large) that is filled with a gas of lesser density than the surrounding atmosphere.
		airship is a hybrid vehicle using a combination of buoyancy and aerodynamic lift to fly.

	Airship Italia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Airship Italia was an airship used by Umberto Nobile in his quest to trans-navigate the North Pole.
		The expedition started on May 22, 1928, but the next day the airship crashed, leaving the gondola on the ice; the gas bag portion of the ship was never found as it had sailed aloft with several crewman when it was relieved of the gondola weight.
		An international rescue effort followed, but it took more than a month before the crash survivors were retrieved.

	WINGED FEVER
		The airship’s envelope was reinforced with rubberized fabric, and her keel was protected by two extra layers of cloth, to guard against the “ice bullets” that had plagued the Norge flight.
		Italia had also searched in vain for Gillis Land, proving beyond reasonable doubt it was a myth as ephemeral as the “crystal city” all had witnessed.
		Italia was blazing a path to the North Pole, voyaging somewhere between Peary’s route and the route followed by Norge in 1926.

		Nobile is notable for having piloted the plane that made the first sighting of the North Pole, but he was more famous for his airship flights.

		Tragically, although Nobile and seven of the Italia's 15-man crew were rescued, the only casualties among the would-be rescuers were Amundsen, Dietrichson and their four-man crew, whose aircraft crashed en route to Spitzbergen without even reaching the search area.
		In 1926 the N1, an Italian semirigid airship with a central keel and a flexible envelope, was chartered by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his financial backer, the American James W. Ellsworth, for a flight to the North Pole.
		He adapted a new airship, of similar size to the Norge, which was to be named Italia, and planned a series of flights from Spitzbergen to the nearby Arctic coasts and on to the Pole.

		Meanwhile, Amundsen and Ellsworth, along with the Italian airship engineer Umberto Nobile and a crew of 13 others, arrived in Kongsfjorden with an Italian semirigid airship that was renamed Norge for the expedition.
		The Italia was designed and flown by Umberto Nobile who led the 1928 North Pole expedition that culminated in the Italia crash.
		One man died in the crash, and the remainder of the crew were carried away with the airship by the wind - never to be seen again.

		Nansen had contacted Eckener regarding the possibility of using a Zeppelin airship for arctic exploration, but at the time such an undertaking did not seem feasible to Eckener and Aeroarctic appears to have existed largely on paper.
		Since a meeting between submarine and airship was not essential to the scientific pursuits, Eckener, therefore, decided to proceed with the flight as planned.
		With the advent of a new breed of Zeppelin airships, perhaps one day now Eckener's questions will be answered and yet another Zeppelin will make an historic flight into the polar regions.

		Nobile became the tool of Mussolini's Fascist dictatorship and its intrigues--Cross pulls no punches in describing the jealousy and petty bickering that affected Nobile's efforts and nearly cost the expedition their lives when rescue efforts by the Italians were half-hearted.
