Shenandoah Airship Built for Maximum Safety and Speed

The Shenandoah was a Navy airship designed for safety and speed with a heavy emphasis on stability and strength. It boasted 64 fuel tanks, 300 horsepower engines, and a 4500 mile cruising radius, achieving a record flight from Lakehurst to Chicago in 1933. A dramatic January storm test near Lakehurst damaged the craft, yet crews regained control, hailed as a major aviation triumph.
