Summary
| Description |
English: Begins to drift back down from a near-vertical position, after her out-of-control rise while moored at the high mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey, shortly after 1:30 PM on 25 August 1927.
This incident, which resulted from the sudden arrival of a cold air front that lifted the airship's tail, causing it to rise before she could swing around the mast parallel to the new wind direction. Los Angeles suffered only minor damage, but the affair demonstrated the risks involved with high mooring masts. Courtesy of Richard K. Smith, author of the book "The Airships Akron & Macon", 1974.Deutsch: "Kopfstand" des Luftschiffes ZR-3 USS Los Angeles am Ankermast in Lakehurst, am frühen Nachmittag des 25. August 1927. |
