USS Shenandoah was the first of four United States Navy rigid airships. It was built in 1922–1923 at Lakehurst Naval Air Station, and first flew in September 1923. It developed the Navy's experience with rigid airships, and made the first crossing of North America by airship. On the 57th flight, Shenandoah was torn apart in a squall line over Ohio in 1925.[1]

Read The Loss of the U.S. Airship Shenandoah, p 399 in The Engineer 1926/10/08 for a two-page detailed report on the airship's fate.
