Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): A Blimp to the Rescue
extracted text (Extract Text): EVEN the powerful NC-3 was battered up when she was

forced to land in a rough sea. Consequently our navy
fully realizes that it must keep a watchful eye on venture-
some ocean-going seaplanes.

Blimps are now being taught to rescue aviators from
seaplanes. The blimp approaches a seaplane until it is just
overhead. Then it turns around until it is heading directly
into the wind. This makes it practically stationary. The
blimp drops a rope ladder, and the aviators climb up.
