DISCLAIMER:
I was assigned to Airship Squadron 3 at Lakehurst, New Jersey from Feb. 1954 to Nov. 1956 as a Combat Air Crewman. Blimp experiences described are from my memory. Blimp photos and blimp facilities are from my blimp scrap book. All blimp statistics are from memory or are documented in official navy blimp manuals, or newspapers and magazines reporting on actual blimp events. The airships I flew in most frequently were numbered Navy Airship 126716, 126717 and 135446.
