EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the impressive size and sophistication of the R38 airship, built for the US Navy at Cardington in 1921. The R38, later renamed ZR2, was a transport airship designed to carry passengers and cargo over long distances. Completed in the same year, this airship represented the latest advancements in aviation technology at the time. The crew in this image is a mix of British and American personnel, reflecting the international collaboration that was common in the early days of aviation. The airship's test flight in August 1921, however, ended tragically when it crashed over the Humber Estuary during a storm, resulting in the loss of lives and damage to the airship. Despite the unfortunate ending, the R38/ZR2 remains an important part of aviation history. Its innovative design and engineering paved the way for future developments in airship technology. This photograph serves as a reminder of the bold spirit of innovation and exploration that characterized the early days of aviation, and the risks and challenges that came with pushing the boundaries of what was possible.
