Wellman Outlines Polar Airship Plans before French Society
Walter Wellman, the American arctic explorer, spoke to the French Meteorological Society presenting greetings from Willis L. Moore of the U S Weather Bureau. He said the Wellman Chicago Record-Herald polar expedition is the first based on arctic meteorology and that aerial navigation is solved by prudence and carrying petroleum aboard a strong airship. He favored arctic conditions for airship work due to zero temps, continuous daylight, and usable guide ropes and drag anchors. The expedition aims to use true seamanship of the aerial sea, not a raft as in Andree’s attempt.
