Parachute Leap From Dirigible --- June 2, 2025

Kansas City Post, 29-May-1925

The USS Shenandoah (ZR-1) was the US Navy's first Zeppelin, a rigid form of airship. 100 years ago this month, in June 1925, Chief Petty officer Lyman H Ford made a daring parachute jump from the Shenandoah. He was the first instructor at the Navy Parachute School.
