A MIGHTY LEVIATHAN OF THE Alß—The American Navy has vast aircraft resources which add greatly to the tactical value of the vessels of the fleet. An Act of 1926 provided for the maintenance, in constant readiness for action, of 1.000 machines for naval purposes only. Enormous airships have been built, too, one of which has a gas capacity of 6,500,000 cubic feet, with a radius of 11,000 nautical miles at 50 m.p.h. Photographs show the air leviathan Los Angeles leaving Lakewood for a flight over Philadelphia, the first since Lieutenant-Commander H. V. Wiley assumed command of the airship.
