Airship trial at the World’s Fair depicts Benbow craft
Tyr Benbow of Columbus Montana piloted a 600 pound airship over the World’s Fair grounds for a 15 minute trial rise to about 30 feet. Gas loss reduced lift by 60 pounds, but the craft remained under control and returned safely. The bag holds 16,000 cubic feet of gas with a 10 horsepower motor and folding blade fans for propulsion.
