Copas. Completing the first airship crossing of the United States, the USS Shenandoah — a Navy-operated aircraft introduced in 1923 — was ripped to pieces by a violent storm over rural Ohio in September of 1925. This lavishly illustrated title offers unique insight on the crash that became legend in the region, and during which 14 men died, as citizens were both horrified at its fall and looted the wreckage in its aftermath. 128 pages, 185 B&W photos, 6½"x 9¼", softcover.
