Hi, I have something most Airship/Zeppelin collectors would like to have in their possession. Read on! First of all, why buy from me? I like to think that I know a thing or two about what I am selling. I spend hours if not days researching most of the items I put up for sale. Some require more research and explanation and others don’t. This one required several hours of my time to research and then some. I have something you don’t see everyday nor do most Zeppelin/Airship collectors know one even exists. Have you ever wondered how the US Navy decides on what type of skin/fabric will be put onto their airships? In the early 1900s, airship//Zeppelin fabric or skin was purely a trial and error gamble. It took companies years to develop a fabric that could be used safely for air travel. We all know why they don’t use a cloth coated in dope (iron oxide and aluminum-impregnated cellulose acetate butyrate) anymore which was what was on the Hindenburg. Ok, I am not a chemist, but I do know it contributed to the inferno that engulfed the Hindenburg. Goodyear is still known for all of its contributions to the airship industry and with its introduction of its K-Ships to the US Navy in 1938, it had already been perfecting fabrics for years. What goes into manufacturing these fabrics? Simply put, they are complex woven fabrics impregnated into various formulations of rubber. I have handled all types of fabrics from the Hindenburg, Graf Zeppelin, USS Shenandoah and some of the K-Ships among others. There is no real guide out there that helps us identify which is which. Unless you have known sample, its almost impossible to tell once from the other. Zeppelins and airships often had more than one type of fabric on them. The air bladders were of one material, the outer skin also varied in thickness, strength and material depending on where it was utilized. I am actively working on a small guide to help collectors in identifying the different types of skins and fabrics used in airships and Zeppelins. Lets get to it. I have something that will interest all airship/Zeppelin collectors. This is a guide put together and published by the US Navy post WWII using airship/blimp fabrics provided by Goodyear for the famous K-Ships. K-ships were used in WWII for coastal patrol and anti-submarine warfare. 134 were built for WWII. They were so successful that the US Navy continued their use into the Korean War. Goodyear was manufacturing over well 20 varieties of airship fabrics. Each one was designed for a specific use. This sample book is volume I out of II volumes produced after WWII. Goodyear provided the samples and specs and the US Navy handles the rest. The US Navy retired the last K-Ship in 1959. This sample book will put a very solid resource into your hands. You can actually see and feel the difference in each of these samples. With the stock and code numbers, Identifying certain airship fabrics will be in your hands. This particular volume is in great shape with no major tears, creases, discoloring or marks. It is not in mint condition but no one will complain about its quality. I conducted an extensive search and could not find any examples for sale. Get volume I while it is still available. Shipping- I take my shipping seriously. If you have ever purchased from me in the past, you will know that. Paper goods and photos are sent completely surrounded by acid free archival quality papers and/or acid free PVC free Polypropylene bags and covers. This cost me well spent money. I also use a variety of recycled and new packaging including boxes and mailers. I try not to profit on my shipping. Please do not misinterpret my shipping charges. I take my time when packing anything anyone buys. I don’t rush it, but at the same time, I don’t overdue it. I hand select packaging materials that will not only protect the items value but will protect it during shipping. By placing a bid or buying it outright, you agree to any method I use to pack your item, new or used shipping material as I see fit. Shipping for this item is via USPS Ground Advantage with Tracking at $7.99. For $14.99, it will be shipped via USPS Priority with Tracking. If you choose this option, I will make my best attempt to get iti n the mail the same day and/or the next morning depending on the order time. What is the best thing about my packaging? It will be easy to open! How many times have you received a package only to spend ten minutes trying to open it without destroying the contents!!! No extra tape, glue, staples, or my worst fear, items shoved between two pieces of cardboard with tape on every edge requiring a surgeon’s scalpel to open it!!! I’m going to celebrate my first year of this new store in a few months and other artifacts over the next few weeks and months. Check back with me every week to see what I have added. Please contact me first with any issues. Thanks for looking!!!
