DeathSep 3, 1925Ava (near Caldwell), OH, USA, in the Shenandoah Airship Disaster7
BiographyHe lost his life in the Shenandoah Airship Disaster on 3 Sep 1925 in Ava, OH. (near Caldwell, OH). It was reported in the "Columbia Evening Dispatch". The U.S.S. Shenandoah (ZR-1), the first American-built rigid airship, made her first flight on September 4, 1923. She was lost in a storm over southeasstern Ohio on September 3, 1925, taking the lives of fourteen of her crew, including the ship's captain, Lieutenant Commander Zachary Lansdowne.

Century of Flight: "The Shenandoah, which was built to military specification, toured the western states testing moorings and airfields. Then it returned to Lakehurst to transfer its helium to the Los Angeles for a more public tour promoting commercial dirigible flight. Technical problems with the Los Angeles forced it back to Lakehurst, and the navy decided to have the Shenandoah fulfil its sister ship’s engagements.

The airship’s commander, Zachary Lansdowne, complained to his superiors that the ship was not prepared for the line squalls and thunderstorms that were common in the Midwest. The ship was sent anyway, and on September 3, 1925, the Shenandoah met a storm and broke up over the Ohio countryside. Lansdowne and thirteen of the crew were killed when the control car tore loose and fell.

Several crew members sent into the hull earlier to secure one of the bags of gas, including Lieutenant Charles E. Rosendahl, clung to the bag while the rest of the craft peeled away, and landed safely twelve miles away. It was the crash of the Shenandoah that prompted Brigadier General Billy Mitchell’s intemperate remarks about the way the navy was handling its aircraft program.

The poignant photos of eastern Ohio farm folk sadly viewing the twisted wreckage of the Shenandoah stayed with many Americans and weakened popular support for dirigible flight a dozen years before the Hindenburg disaster.

A Naval Court of Inquiry conducted a lengthy investigation, which included Lansdowne’s widow testifying about her husband’s misgivings, and Lieutenant Rosendahl, buttressed by Admiral Moffett, defending the navy’s decision. The court blamed Lansdowne for the accident and made a great many self-serving pronouncements about how the loss of the Shenandoah was the price to be paid for the lessons learned. After much debate, Congress caved in and approved the navy plan to build three replacements for the Shenandoah, two of them nearly twice its size and the other a smaller all-metal dirigible, the ZMC-2, the only dirigible that was still in active service during World War II."7,8
