Abstract:
This article is written in response to the Fall 2004 Volume X, Issue 2 of Recall and contains some corrections. The author was a blimp pilot and was assigned to ZP-1 at Weeksville, NC. Overman discusses the altitude at which blimps can fly, how an airship climbs and descends, the maximum speed of an airship, the ballonets on an airship, and corrections to a particular historical event.
