extracted text (Extract Text): THE LARGEST nonrigid
airship ever built is being
test-flown by the Good-
year Aircraft Corp.,
Akron, Ohio. Designated
the M-1, this super blimp
will serve the Navy, cruis-
ing up and down the coasts
in search of enemy sub-
marines. Compared with
the naval K-ships which
have been on coastal pa-
trol, the M-1 is larger by
50 percent and holds 50
percent more helium.
Greater size and volume
of the giant ship permit
larger cruising radius and
bomb-carrying capacity.
In the photo at the right
can be seen the airdock of
the plant in Akron where
the partially filled gasbag
awaits placement of a nose
cone.
