@SimoMcGauneo The Akron/Macon twins could scout an area the size of California in 24 hours. They could travel 8,200 miles at flank speed (87 mph) carrying 92 tons of weight + ship weight of ~100 tons. planes in that era could travel 500 miles tops (that means 250 miles was a point of no return to wherever you were flying if you happed to come from an aircraft carrier). The design of the tail was changed to placate idiot politicians that wanted rear fin to be able to see the control car up front.

It's ridiculous to think these were ever a good idea!! A cool idea, but still, not a good one!

There is footage of the crash. The lower tail fin bent like a piece of paper then returned to it's shown shape. The fins were bolted onto the frame instead of being connected internally with the other fins like the German zeppelins were made. This was a tragic flaw of both the Akron and Macon which were brought down due to tail fin damage in high winds.
