Contribution to the technique of landing large airships. Part I
This 1929 NACA Technical Memorandum, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, sets out engineering figures on landing large airships and the damage done to hangar sheds and structures during accidents. Its plates are numbered engravings and photographs of hangar wreckage, shed interiors, a sectioned airship landing ground and a Siemens-Schuckert airship landing drawing. A designer might take from them the dense, grid-like layout of numbered plates, with dark crushed-metal textures and cropped photographs set against plain page margins.
