Author Bio: Karen Scanlon is a freelance writer, educator, and historian who writes extensively on the maritime history of San Diego.
Germany's use of the terrifying, bomb-dropping Zeppelins slipped over England's unprotected cities in little-known aerial battles of the Great War. And the U.S. was keeping tabs. From 1921 to 1935, the U.S. Navy maneuvered five lighter-than-air flying giants. Alas, to a catastrophic end, spare one. The U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics had selected San Diego as the site of the West Coast terminus for trans-continental airship flight. These airships occasionally called on our growing metropolis, landing at Kearny Field (now Miramar Marine Corps Station) and North Island's budding air station.
