Shenandoah Damages Cabin On Pacific Flight
The Shenandoah smashed rear cabin tearing a six foot hole while mooring to its mast in San Diego. Repairs to motors will keep it grounded today but the dirigible plans a Pacific coast flight to Camp Lewis and possibly Hawaii after winter maneuvers. Admiral Moffett believes Hawaii trip easier than continental crossing. A heavy San Diego gale blew as workers prepared the ship for mooring. The craft crossed the California line at 1:05 PM pacific time and was sighted near Glapisah. In Arizona, a radio call from the Shenandoah aided its crew after they misread their position near Benson. Radio-telephone connections were established with the aircraft along the Arizona-New Mexico line.
