The nirship Roma. it was said at the
War Department. was engaged in tr!ai
flights after recent installation of Lib.
clty motors to replace the Italian en-
gines with which the ship originally was
equipped when she made the flight from
Langley Field to Washington last year
to be christened and formally COM
missioned in the army air service. The
Italian motors gave trouble and it was
decided to replace them with the proved
American models.
The Roma originally was built for a
passenger ship and carried several pas.
senger cabins. She was altered when
she was brought from 1taiy on shipbonrd
aud re assembled at Langley Field 81
that she had but one passenger cabin.
Tentative plans were made recently
by the mir service for operation OF the
ship this spring and summer on q
commercial test run between New iOrl;

been removed up to that time.
Lands In Flames
The big aircraft landed in flames
near the naval base. Soon after she
fell four men were taken of alive.
The heat of the flames was 50 intense
that those near where the craft fell
were unable to approach. The four men
rescued We're badly burned.
The Roma was sailing in q southeast
erly direction when. according to OBJ
servers. she suddenly burst into flames
and fol like comet to the earth. The
explosion occurred shortly after =

Reports from Portsmouth. which is
near the naval base, said the Roma.
after n slantiny plunge of hundreds OF
feet, struck one of the barracks build
ings at the base and then exploded, with
n rippinC crash. \ sheet of ilanic
leaned from the rent in the gas bag and
the passenger COMPARTMENTS slung un-
derneath dropped twenty feet to the
ground below.
The Roma was one of the largest
semi rigid airships in the world. 1t
did not compare in size with the i'll.
fated ZR-2, which crashed in Eng and
with the loss of forty nine American
and British airmen. The ship was pur-
chased from Italy early in 1921 for ap'
proximate,y- $3.50 900. Its value was
said to be in excess OF 81 ,125, 900. 1t was
41O feet long so feet deep and had a
steel lutice keel. divided into seventy :.
five pieces, Joined together with ball
and socket joint that gives the maximum
of play with the maximum OF strength
The keel. which was built In the form OF
triangle, also was strengthened Will
! 1G NM steel cable. 1t weighed about
eight tons and had tensile strength
of Is to ].
The Roma required l 200, 900 feet o.
| hydrogen gas to give its maximum lift
ing power. The gas was contained II
eleven compartments. No other airshil
| has been built with the same degree o
precaution against disaster from eN
ploding gas ignited BY nrc from the en-
zines, The six motors were al located
near the bottom Of the keel. cighteel
feet away froiu the lower edge Of th
bag but not within eighteen feet of TIN
sas, for between the gas and the uppe
edge of the keel there were eleven bal
loonettes that. it was said, could be al
most instantly filled with pure air b
means Of scoops placed just above tn
keel. All va,ving for the hydrogen ga
was located on top Of the ship. eight
feet above tho engines. There were fort
vents for permitting the gas to escape
and thirty two for initiating.
The Roma was originally cquirpe'
with six twelve cylinder engines of nv
horsepower each. giving an estimate
speed of eighty miles an hour and
cruising radius at full speed of $50
miles.
These engines. however. were re
placed with Liberty motors after tn
airsh!p was brought to the Unite
States.
