ZR-2 AND HER MARTYRS ! Thc.ea", tifirophe of the great ship - of the air, the. ZR-2, is heralded to the most remote corners of the globe ( and the d-orld sorrows with the families -of the martyrs who died in that regrettable wreck. Heroes, everyone who lost their lives in that ill fatelL ( ship, -just as much as those- who fell | amid the poppies of France- or sank . bbneath the waves that know neither j ' friend nor foe. It takes the same i 1 quality .of f outage to test aircraft to see if thdy are 'fit for others to fly ' ^ as-it does to fly a tested, machine into ^ a hail of "machine gun fire. . Martyrs those men of the ZR-2 because they were -victims of the expcrlhiental stage of fighter thun afr 1 e-a'ft.- and. because they were victims ' the Wal- Depart iw»^sn:f the pre«s ' 1 of the country, are deluged with de- 1 mands of people -to "washout" the J ' ■ dirigibles anil discontinue .experi- , ' ments with tliern. It is to he hoped | -that neither the gnve-nment" nor the! j •press will take these demands seriv| ously to heart- To cease experinien- 1 tation with lighter than air ships j 1 would be. a harrow.— short 'sighted ' > • policy-* These men then would have j I died in vain and posterity would in 1.1 tlie years to come be forced to'.begin.j f over again so the* the steps forward irtpir navigation would continue. : I - Thb fault of the accident the impractibility of aerial jferiga- 1 ■tlon .by. lighter than air crw but in j" faulty construction or peMips more j ' .correctly in faulty desi^png. -Which j I it was is probably known already in ' the circles where the 231-2 was built. I The .possibilities point, rather to fault > in design; for ■ faulty 'workmanship ^ would have been detected and cor: rected by some of the many inspector's who watched every square inyh ; of metal and fabric and every rivet u that was . becomirtg a part -of tKe tgrcatest airship ever "built-. _ ' j Just what the idea of thg Ameri- I can Government was. in having Great I Britain build- the ZR-2 is not gyner. w ally known to the "public- The Gdr- J man government had built many sue- tl cessful. dirigibles of practically the' h | same Type and not so' much smaller., ti | These giants were engines of destruction but could have been utifized "for a better purpose had the war bnot demanded them. When the arm- si isttje was signed and German prop- si ert'y was turned over to the allied a 1 governments we wonder why Jhe e

United States Government did Mm. rare at least one of thaw ships to bridg to the United States for experimental work and to use the nucleus for a fleet of bigger and better one* Germany built more of this typo of air draft than any other nation and when one was brought down oa English or "French territory they were immediately dismantled by the governments and- turned over to the laboratories for intensive study. It seems that the United States Government wanted the ZR-2 as the boginning of an eariel navy and tho fact that she was ill fated does not diminish the need of such ships. We must compete with other nations in commerce and to do so it follows that we must haye as good facilities and vehicles of transportation as the competing nations. The past war threw the airplane and airship ahead at least ten years and if the good things of a bad period are to be made by use of -by the United States as by the other nations then the air program mast be continued and carried \ forward to efficiency Yankee ingenuity can attain. -Otherwise the competing na. ^tions will soon outstrip our own, in fact /during the war our air program ' was so far behind that it was _only a short, time before the armistice was signed that American aviators flew planes and then not the little fighters. The mere mention of theair craft corporation to an American aviator who^served overseas' will leave a bad taste In his mouth for the re.«t-sjf_the dayItaly, England, Germany and are paying lots of attention to aircraft matters. One year after the armistice France, had her planes carrying mail over routes which resembled a spider's web over the counOthers are -doing similar things that line'Air navigation is gradually losing mysteriousness to the general public and some of the immense pos* sibilities of air travel both for pleasure and commercial purposes -are constantly growing upon the people as a whole. We still hear once in a- while some . eld tinier state .that "It cannot be Hone." but it is being done nevertheless and. within a sHVvrt- period of years or as 'soon as the government awakens a hit more and the air service in the army aird na-ri;- • cease squabbling 'over who's who and why .air- travel will begin to be of real practicable benefit in more than tlte present mail service- . One time a slight bit of wind was » enough to keep a plane in its hangar. Now only the roughest storms drives the heavier than air craft -to the ground. . • . » . Unfortunately for- the popularity of travel by air the pre-s of the country will give an airplane accident as much pubilirity as the worst taain wreck.
