Smithfaultedyouforwritingthatthe Kennebunk VOR beacon pulled “great airshipsacrossthesea,”byclaimingthat therehavebeenno“airships”inthesky sincetheHindenburgburnedandcrashed in1937.

Theclaimwouldbecorrectifmodified: noGermanairship,notfilledwithhydro¬ gen gas, not engaged in commercial transportationofpassengers.

“Airship”isagenerictermdefining lighter-than-airdirigibleaircraft,whether rigid,astheHindenburgandtheseveral GrafZeppelins(German)orthe Akron andothers(American);orsemi-rigid,asin any of the Goodyear “blimps” which hover over Fenway Park from time to time,andnotlongagooverPortlanditself.

Seeminglyinexplicablyin1972,during theNixon-McGovernpresidentialcam¬ paign, North Vietnam announced the releaseofthreePOWs—AirForceMajor EdwardK.Elias,andNavyLieutenants NorrisA.CharlesandMarkL.Gartley.
