Nowadays the media would blame the U.S. for the Hindenburg disaster, saying that withholding helium from the Third Reich led directly to loss of life in the crash.

Gee, I wonder how something so stealthy, nible, and lightning fast could ever be shot down.

Airships may well have a place in our future. Not in combat but in moving things quickly to isolated places.

Be on the lookout. If, all of a sudden, Bozo the clown can’t get helium to make balloon animals, you will know that the Russkies are buying up all the world’s helium to conduct war with their new Death Star.

The USS Shenandoah was torn apart by the storm, structural failure. Due, in large part to being filled with helium, which expanded and caused the airship to rise at a catastrophic rate.

Huh. That “ship” sounds a lot like a target that’d be very hard not to shoot down.
