"In 1916, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company purchased land near Akron, Ohio, to build a plant that could produce airships. In 1923, the main Goodyear Company created a subsidiary known as the Goodyear Zeppelin Company to manufacture airships, including airships for the United States Navy and for leisure. By the late 1920s and the early 1930s, among the firm's completed zeppelins were the Pony, Pilgrim, Puritan, Volunteer, Mayflower, Vigilant, Defender, Reliance, Resolute, Enterprise, Ranger, and Columbia. Most of these ships utilized helium to become airborne, while zeppelins originally used heated air or hydrogen. During this period, other companies, especially European ones, were constructing airships to transport passengers, including across the Atlantic Ocean. Goodyear also manufactured two airships, the Akron and the Macon, for the United States military during the early 1930s. During World War II, the company manufactured 104 airships for the military at its Akron facility." This book was updated and published annual since 1925.. Very Good+ .

But their assignment to a place in the national defense arouses questions...." "A blimp, or non-rigid airship, is an airship (dirigible) without an internal structural framework or a keel. Unlike semi-rigid and rigid airships (e. G. Zeppelins) , blimps rely on the pressure of the lifting gas (usually helium, rather than hydrogen) inside the envelope and the strength of the envelope itself to maintain its shape. The term is sometimes also used to refer to the tethered craft properly known as moored balloons. While often very similar in shape, moored balloons have no propulsion and are tethered to the ground." (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ in Good dust jacket .

Darby was, in effect, the commander of what became known as the “Darby Ranger Force. ”The Rangers took part in the invasion of Sicily and in three major campaigns in Italy. They led the amphibious landing near Salerno, on 9 September 1943, and then captured and defended the Chiunzi Pass. After spearheading the Allied drive on Naples, the Rangers fought as line infantry on the mountainous German Winter Line. The battered Ranger battalions were pulled off the line to prepare for the amphibious landing at Anzio on 22 January 1944." (Veritas, Vol. 5, No.1 2009). Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
