Bottom. The British dirigible "R-101," moored to her mast in Cardington, England, after one of her trial flights. This gigantic 775-foot airship crashed into the side of a hill near Beauvais, France, and perished in explosion and flame seven hours after leaving her home port, Cardington, bound for India, with many British air notables aboard. Only seven of the fifty-four men aboard escaped alive.
