the Shenandoah had moored at
masts on the Pacific coast without
previous tests.
The navy department did write,
however, that II Commander Lans-
downe regarded trial flight as
necessary It would be ordered. Cap
tain Steele said that Commander
Lansdowne made no further recon-
mendation and presumably was not
convinced Of the necessity for a
trial flight.
Turning the inquiry to predicted
weather conditions at the time the
fight was undertaken, Rear Admiral
Hilary p, Jones. president Of the
court. asked II there was any doubt
in Captain Steele's mind from a study
Of the forecast that the fight should
have been started.
No Weather Map Perfect
"There was no doubt in my mind
on that point" Captain Steele re-
piled. THE weather map was not
perfect, but very few are perfect
from flying standpoint"
Was there anything predicted on
the map which you thought would
be a menace TO the Shenandoah 2"
asked the admiral.
II saw nothing or the weather
chart which I thought could not be
passed or avoided by the shenan-
dab" Captain Steele replied.
Asked as to his opinion of Com
mander T.ansdowne's ability as a
flying officer. Captain Steele said he
considered him very capable and
careful handler Of air ships"
