	Graf Zeppelin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		He (German airships were often referred to in the masculine at the time) had a total length of 236.6 m and a volume of 105,000 m³, it was the largest dirigible up to that time.
		However the disastrous accident of the British passenger airship R 101 in 1931 led the Zeppelin company to reconsider the safety of hydrogen-filled vessels, and the design was abandoned in favor of a new project.
		The embargo by the United States because of the looming war prevented German access to the large quantities of helium, and the Hindenburg was fatefully converted to a hydrogen design.

	Zeppelin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The zeppelin airships were lighter-than-air craft using a rigid frame construction with an aerodynamic outer envelope and several separate balloons called 'cells' containing the lighter-than-air gas hydrogen completely within the frame.
		The most successful airship of this period was LZ127 Graf Zeppelin which flew over 1 million miles including the first (and, to date, only) circumnavigation of the globe via airship.
		Several airships of this kind were built in the USA, Britain, Italy, and the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 1930s, mostly imitating original Zeppelin design derived from crashed or captured German World War I airships.

	Balloons and Airships (Science Tracer Bullet - Science Reference Services, Library of Congress)
		Airships, however, are equipped with some means of propelling and steering, so that controlled flight is possible.
		A balloon or airship's lift is derived from its buoyancy, which comes from the difference between the density of the atmosphere and that of the lifting gas that fills it.

	Our Airship History
		The crash was the beginning of the end for the rigid airship in the United States, militarily as well as commercially.
		After her loss airship activity was reduced to a minimum and NAS Lakehurst, now almost a forgotten air station, was relegated to flying a handful of obsolete blimps.
		Fleet Airship Wing One was recommissioned at NAS Lakehurst in January 1949 and remained in operational and administrative control of postwar airship squadrons until the end of the program.

		A Zeppelin is a type of rigid airship (or dirigible) pioneered by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the early 20th century.
		The prototype airship LZ1 (LZ for "Luftschiff Zeppelin") had a length of 128 m, was driven by two 14.2 horsepower (10.6 kW) Daimler engines and was balanced by moving a weight between its two nacelles.
		Another six airships were sold to the DELAG by 1914, and were given names in addition to their production numbers.

		This disaster was the trigger for Army Colonel Billy Mitchell to heavily criticize the leadership of both the Army and the Navy, leading directly to his court-martial for insubordination and the end of his military career.
		On 27 October, Shenandoah celebrated Navy Day with a flight down the Shenandoah Valley and returned to Lakehurst that night by way of Washington and Baltimore, where crowds gathered to see the new airship in the beams of searchlights.
		At this time, Rear Admiral William Moffett, Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics and staunch advocate of the airship, was discussing the possibility of using Shenandoah to explore the Arctic.

	ZEPPELIN FACTS AND INFORMATION
		The prototype airship ''LZ1'' (''LZ'' for "Luftschiff ('Airship') Zeppelin") had a length of 128 m, was driven by two 14.2 horsepower (10.6 kW) Daimler engines and was balanced by moving a weight between its two nacelles.
		Whatever may have caused the Hindenburg_disaster, the true cause of the end of the dirigible era was due to politics and the upcoming War, not the disaster itself, though it surely led to some public misgivings.
		Eckener kept trying to obtain helium gas for the ''Hindenburg's'' sister ship, the ''"Graf Zeppelin II"'', but due to political bias against the airship's commercial use by the Nazi leadership, coupled with the inability to obtain Helium gas in sufficient quantities due to an embargo by the United States, his efforts were in vain.

	Naval Aviation 1954-59
		In spite of heavy airship icing, propeller icing, severe vibration and flying ice particles, Mills piloted his airship, directed the collection of data, returned to the field under instrument conditions, and made a ground-controlled approach landing in a manner that retained a maximum amount of ice on the ship for analysis on the ground.
		This directive, which was implemented on 1 July 1957, required that the Navy transfer to the agency all of the transport aircraft it was operating under MATS and all four-engine land transports of the Fleet Logistic Air Wings except for 30 which could be retained for Fleet service and administrative airlift.
		Out of this request a Navy Space Surveillance System (SPASUR) was developed which began producing useful data in June 1959 and on 2 February 1960 established the existence of an unknown object in orbit and later identified it as the re-entry vehicle of Discoverer V which had been assumed lost.

		In 1984, the Navy was given permission to charter vessels — mostly Maritime Prepositioning Force ships — for 25 years, but Congress in 1990 reduced the maximum to five years.
		This approach means the Navy has no need to seek funding authorization for the entire cost of the lease in the first year, a practice anticipated by lawmakers who oversee such high-dollar programs.
		The list included prevention of terrorist attacks, such as the one on the destroyer USS Cole in Yemen in 2002, and sexual assault prevention among sailors.

	The United States Government Printing Office Style Manual 2000
		A common noun or adjective forming an essential part of a proper name is capitalized; the common noun used alone as a substitute for the name of a place or thing is not capitalized.
		If a common noun or adjective forming an essential part of a name becomes separated from the rest of the name by an intervening common noun or adjective, the entire expression is no longer a proper noun and is therefore not capitalized.
		In formal lists of delegates and representatives of governments, all titles and descriptive designations immediately following the names should be capitalized if any one is capitalized.

	Current Designations of U.S. Military Aircraft
		Existing aircraft which used designations not compliant with the new system (all Navy and Marine Corps, many Army, and a few Air Force aircraft) were redesignated effectively on 18 September 1962 (see source [1] and article on Aircraft Redesignations in 1962).
		The "V" symbol was originally used for all staff transport aircraft, but is nowadays limited to aircraft used by the President of the United States.
		Although the "Z" status prefix is still listed in the regulations, it is apparently no longer actually used.
