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

in #history7 years ago

The Goodyear blimp at sporting events was a mainstay for many years/decades. To use a blimp during wartime? Well, that is pretty dangerous as blimps have almost no maneuverability. If they encounter the enemy, they are dead.

A great story - whatever happened to the 2 crewman??

Sort:  

No one knows what happened. Conspiracy theories abound. But they probably fell into the water at some point. Maybe one of them tried something and then the other tried an ill-fated rescue? We'll never know.

Thanks for answering. An unsolved mystery always generates various conspiracy theories. Still very interesting.
