Navy
Lakehurst Historical Society, Inc is a non-profit organization
dedicated to preserving the distinguished heritage of Naval
Air Station Lakehurst, located in Lakehurst, New Jersey,
USA.
Although NAS Lakehurst will forever be remembered as the site of
the Hindenburg disaster, many other significant events have taken
place here. The rigid airships Shenandoah , Los Angeles and Akron
all called the station home, as did many U.S. Navy blimps. The station
was the western terminus for the commercial transatlantic flights
of the German dirigibles Hindenburg and Graf Zeppelin. In addition
to NAS Lakehurst's rich airship history, the station has served
as a center for research into aircraft ejection seats and carrier
aircraft launch and recovery techniques.
The base's mission continues today as the Naval Air Engineering
Station (NAES), Lakehurst. |
