EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the construction process of the R34 airship, taken on November 24, 1918. The image showcases the 'walking way' in the keel of the airship, a crucial component that allowed workers to access various areas of the massive vessel during its assembly. The keel, the backbone of the R34, is visible in its raw form, with some aluminum fuel tanks and canvas bags for water ballast scattered around. The tanks, made of lightweight aluminum, were essential for powering the airship's engines, while the water ballast bags helped maintain the ship's buoyancy and stability during takeoff and landing. The R34, a British R101-class rigid airship, was one of the most advanced aircraft of its time. Its construction was a significant achievement in aviation history, marking a new era in long-distance air travel. This photograph serves as a testament to the engineering marvel that was the R34 and the intricate process of bringing it to life. The date of this photograph, November 24, 1918, is particularly noteworthy as it comes at the end of World War I. The R34 was intended for transatlantic flights, but it never got a chance to fulfill its intended purpose due to the war's conclusion. Instead, it was used for scientific research and diplomatic missions, making history as the first airship to complete a return transatlantic flight in 1919. This photograph, with its unique perspective and historical significance, is a must-have for aviation enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of early aviation.
