Shenandoah Fit for Pole Trip Says Naval Board
Naval experts deem the airship Shenandoah ready for a polar dash after endurance tests including St Louis Valley of Virginia and New England flights. The board heard from Commander McCrary and Commander Weyerbacher with Captain Heiner endorsing airworthiness as Arctic exploration looms. The plan shifts to thorough investigation of uncharted regions between Alaska and the Pole with possible Arctic Mooring mast and remote jump-off base.
