US Navy Airship Shenandoah ZR-1 Zeppelin Lambert Field 1923 Real Photo 7 READ. This is a real photo of US Navy Airship ZR-1 Shenandoah at Lambert Field (Missouri) 1923 that measures 7 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. The back has writing, One of the Navy’s Great Zeppelins… Believe this to be ZR-1 Shenandoah ZR-1 at Lambert Field 1923. 1925 due to structural failure while in line squalls in Caldwell, Ohio killing half the crew (14 men). It made first crossing of North America by airship. It’s length was 680 ft and height 93 feet 2. It was helium filled and when it crashed it broke in two. This is a RARE real photo of a Zeppelin that was only around a couple years. Look closely at building in background which help id Lambert Field and also see the tents out there. The quality of photo is great. I assume this was taken by Navy in plane and not a snapshot due to height and view…. And this was 1923! My photos are of the actual item you are getting.

1920-30’s Airship Pilot’s wing marked Sterling, full size, pin back, no maker’s mark. This is the traditional design authorized by regulation and a copy of the design authorized by the Government when they created the “From Official Die” concept in the mid 20’s. I believe this is a Bailey, Banks & Biddle wing-for certain it’s their pattern. Don’t let this one slip by! It’s a good deal at this price.

Silver USN Airship half wing by Whitehead & Hoag in pin back. Precisely why this 1/2 wing is silver, I cannot say although I have heard that silver half wings were used by enlisted crew members on their Class A uniforms. I have not, however, been able to verify this. Nonetheless, this is a beautifully die struck wing in pin back with the appropriate “J” style catch used in that era. It is hallmarked by Whitehead & Hoag. This is an exquisitely fletched wing pattern.
