Airships Edge Toward Mass Transit Across Atlantic
The North American Aerial Transportation Company plans giant rigid airships with initial capitalization of 5 million dollars to carry up to 1,000 passengers. Early ships will serve about 50 passengers, with nine months to build. Transfer involves aerial elevators and short hops via airplanes. Germany already runs daily 800 mile airship routes carrying 40 passengers, with Berlin as base and 140,000 passengers since 1912. American capital is cautious amid fears of rearming war potential.
