War.

II the Frenchman. Henri Giffard.
who flew the first dirigible ever
built, could SEQ the giant air liner
Graf Zeppelin he would hardly be
able to recognize 1t n = descendant
Of his own rickety invention.
Giffard's dirigible. which made
it, first flight in 1852. was 144
feet long and 80 feet wide. 1t had
q steam engine Of three horse
power, and in dead calm could
make 4 speed Of nearly seven
miles an hour.
The Graf Zeppelin is some five
times az long. has motors gen.
Grating over a thousand horse
power and can travel so miles an
hour, wind or no wind.
Yet this new giant Of the air is
. direct descendant OF Giffard's
flimsy dirigible, and OF the odd
looking. inefficient airships that
succeeded 1t.
The first flight In a free balloon
was made In 1852.
Used steam Engine
Giffard devised a steam engine
lighter than anything yet seen. 1t
weighed only 462 pounds: AMI
since his dirigible had a lifting
power Of nearly two tons - of
which, however. 2794 pounds
wero taken care OF by the en-
CINE and basket - the engine
was plenty light enough.
His first flight caused a sensa-
ton. True, he was not able to fly
against the wind: but he was able
to steer. and to move with some
freedom when flying across the
wind.
Giffard. incidentally, must have

In 1872 another Frenchman, Du-

This balloon could not do as well

however. Twelve years later two

Steam-D Driven Gas Bag Of 1872 Was
Forerlnner Of Modern Dirigible

= number Of successful flights
which slowly brought conviction
that the dirigible might become q
practical conveyance.
The famous Count Zeppelin OF
Germany. however. was the man to
whom the dirigible owes its great
est development.
Until Zeppelin began his work
al dirigibles were Of the non-rigid
type. They usually consisted of CT.
gar-shaped bags of silk. from which
the passenger and motor car was
suspended by a network Of ropes
In some early dirigibles the car con-
sisted OF long. narrow framework
and the pilot directed the dirigible
up or down by walking from one
end Of the car to the other. his
weight thus depressing or elevatine
the ships nose.
Zeppelin. however. introduced
the rigid type. building a long
aluminium framework containing
16 separate balloons, the whole
covered with vanished silk. The
rigid framework enabled him to
attach his propellers directly tc
the envelope instead of to the car
below, with a consequent improve
ment in speed.
First Zepp In 1900
Zeppelin brought out his first
dirigibie in 1900. 1t was OF
amazing size for that day-4l6
feet long and SO feet wide, with
gas capacity of $4,000 cubic
feet. Two aluminium cars were
suspended below. each one con-
tanning 16-horsepower motor
and space for several men. On
its first trial this ship took five
persons aloft, reached a height OF
1900 feet and went three and
three-quarter miles in II min
utes against the wind.
From that point on the develop
ment OF the dirlgible can almos,
be told in the history of the Yep
pelin. While France, England
and the United States interested
themselves chiefly in heavier-than-
air machines. Zeppelin, aided by
the German government. contin-
ued to refine the dirigible, and by
1910 he had inaugurated regular
commercial passenger service In
Germany. Other countries had
little success with rigid dirigibles
until Zeppelins were shot down in
France and England during the
war and scientists OF other nations
could study their construction.
In 1910 an American explorer,
Walter Wellman, tried to cross
the Atlantic in non-rigid dirig-
ible This chip was 22S feet long
and could travel 26 miles an hour.
1t came down in mid-ocean. and
officers and crew were rescued by
a steamer.
Used in World War
The coming of the World War
strikingly demonstrated the pos
sibilties OF the dirigible. During
the course Of the war the Ger
mans used 70 Zeppelins, and one
OF them-the L-59-in 1917 flew
from Bulgaria to German East
Africa with an 11-ton cargo OF
ammunition and medicine for be
leaeured German troops there
The German garrison surrendered
| before the dirigible arrived: bu
the flight set a record, being q
nonstop affair Of 1928 miles.
After the war the Germans were
forbidden by the peace treaty te
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1928-10-16

build dirigibles, and tho only
Zeppelins constructed have been
those expressly designed for peace
purposes.
In the United States the dirig-
ible was developed chiefly along
non-rigid or semi-rigid lines. until
the navy's Inflated Shenandoah
was constructed along the lines Of
a Zeppelin shot down In France.
The action OF the Goodyear COM
pany in getting Zeppelin experts
on its staff, however. has assured
the country of development of the
rigid dirigible.
1t is worth noting that Count
Zeppelin got his first experience
with aeronautics during the Amer
lean Civil War, when he served as
an officer in the federal army and
was detailed to the balloon squad
of the army Of the Potomac.
Enthused over aviation, the
young German went back to Eu-
rope to begin his far-reaching ex-
periments.
