Giant airship R-34 sails toward New York for return voyage
The 23 crew members include Lt Cmdr Zachary Lansdowne of the American Naval Air Forces in France as representative. The R-34 aims to cross the Atlantic in 60 to 70 hours under favorable conditions but no time record is planned. It may follow northern steamship lanes or go via the Azores if weather turns adverse, landing briefly at Roosevelt Field Mineola before returning due to lack of a suitable hangar.
