Goodyear Blimp -- Decmber 1, 2013


The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio has produced airships, mostly blimps but some Zeppelins, rigid airships. since 1911.  Here is a typical military blimp.  Goodyear has operated its own blimps for publicity since 1925.  There are three in the current fleet.  Goodyear is planning to switch to Zeppelin LTs next year. 

The image is from the 1922 Aircraft Yearbook.
