[PW] Page from Claxton's "The Mastery of the Air"

[Jeanne Schramm]

I have posed this query to an airship expert (has written about them, has a
collection of Zeppelin books, owns an actual part of the frame and piece of
the skin of the wrecked airship Shenandoah, has visited the airship museum
in Friedrichshafen, Germany, and has taken a ride over Lake Constance on the
NT [New Technology]  Zeppelin) and his response -- in a nutshell -- "You see
a diagram of the basic internal structure of one Zeppelin, you've seen them
all."  Excluding the NT, of course.
