First Flight of R34 Ends at Mineola, United States
The R34 airship completed its historic Atlantic crossing landing at Mineola near Roosevelt Field after a 108 hour journey from Scotland. Major Scott and crew, visibly exhausted but elated, were greeted by British and American officials, with plans to return to duty and refuel before a next leg or return voyage. The sight drew thousands as the airship anchored, ropes secured, and the crew received official welcomes from Gen. Maitland, Admiral Glennon, and Navy officials.
