(AMnclatfd Pre. Leued Win.)
LAKEHURST, N. J., Sept. 23.
The Shenandoah was ordered on
her fatal flight to the West on
September 2 despite recommenda
' tlona of Lieutenant-Commander
Zacbary Lansdowne thai tbe trip
be deferred until tbe ted week in
September. '
This la shown by official docu
ments read into the record today
of the naval court of Inquiry by
Captain George V. Steele, Jr., com
mandant of tbe Lakehurst air sta
tion. After the navy department had
disapproved his plan for ataring
at the later period. Commander
Lansdowne made no further pro
test. Captain Steele declared to
the court. The correspondence
showed that the department was
very anxious to have the great air
ship visit state fairs in Ohio, In
diana, Michigan, Iowa and other
western states during the first two
weeks of September. Commander
Lansdowne replied that as there
would not bo time to complete
preparations at Scott Field, Illi
nois, for the reception Of the ship
' bo would suggest that the voyage
bo deferred until the second week.
The navy department disapprov
ed of this plan, fixed the Itinerary
and Commander Lansdowne under
took to carry ont the schedule.
The trip first bad been suggested
for July, but Commander Lans
downe objected because that
would be during the season of
thunderstorms in the middle west,
and It was because of this objec
tion that the flight was deferred
until September.
After describing frequent Inspec
tions made of the great airship and
particularly of the metal structure.
Captain Steele told the court that
her condition at the time of her
departure was such that ber de
parture met with aria entire ap
proval. He added that the flight
was undertaken by officers and
men in the very hopeful spirit of
bringing the utility and desirability
of this type of craft home 16 the
peonle of the country.
Captain Paul Foley, Judge advo
cate, developed that Commander
I-ansrtowne's objection to an ear
lier flight and his reasons for rec
ommending that the start be mide
In the second week In September
were because of facilities for
handling the ship at stopping pla
ces rather than to weather condi
tions. Turning the Inquiry to predicted
weather conditions at the time the
flight was undertaken. Rear-Admiral
Hllarv P Jones, president of the
court, asked If there waa any doubt
In Captain Steele's mind from a
study of tbe forecast that the
flight should have been started.
"Thtre wss ro doubt in my mind
on that notnt." Captain Steele re
plied. "The weather map was not
perfect, but very few are perfect
from a flying standpoint.
Asked an to his opinion of Com
mander Tjinsdowne's abilltv as a
flying officer. Captain Steele said
he considered him a "very rapable
and careful handler of airships."
