Watch Akron fly and moor in contemporary Navy footage

Several minutes of contemporary US Navy film show Akron flying over Chesapeake Bay. Changing camera angles reveal the airship's scale, aft control position, forward gondola, and areas associated with its water-reclamation system. The sequence follows Akron as it descends and attempts to make contact with its mooring party. The footage also shows the relative positions of the control spaces, engines, and mooring equipment discussed later in the video.
