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.
