My late father in law was the last active lighter-than-air ship captain in the USN, I am told. He flew blimps out of the Toms River area where the Hindenburg went down. A heroic guy, may he RIP. His widow, for many years, continued active service administering the Lighter than Air Association, a brave collection of those who served in blimps back in their heyday, which came to a close shortly after WW II.
