Synopsis
Excerpt from Aircraft in War and Commerce
The present drawback of the expensiveness of airship accommodation will, I believe, be got over by movable shields and the anchoring of airships behind them, so that whichever way the wind blows the breakwater, so to speak, will al ways cover the nose of the airship and prevent any great pressure of wind upon it. This will help very much, for it is the airship shed rather than the airship which costs money and is ditfi~ cult to build and expensive to maintain.
