U.S.S. Akron part 1

Silent film showing the construction of the U.S.S. Akron (ZRS-4), a helium-filled U.S. Navy rigid airship that operated between September 1931 and April 1933.  This film was reformatted and digitized from the original 35mm nitrate film thanks to a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation.
