RE: Privateers? Crashes? A Ghost Blimp? Airships Named “Ranger” Had a Difficult Year in 1942

in #history7 years ago

I feel bad for the crews of those ships. They gave their lives in a noble cause, but I had no idea that flying blimps was so hazardous after they were filled with helium. The danger is apparent for blimps filled with hydrogen but my understanding was that helium-filled craft are much safer.

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed that.
