192012893Akron OH: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company 1920. First Edition. Staplebound. Near fine. Quarto 31pp. A crisp clean copy near fine in the publisher's blue stapled wrappers with rough-cut edges stamped in light blue and gold. Staples rusted but sound and the folding plate depicting the enormous Goodyear factory partly loosened from the binding but still attached and intact. Else clean and sound with a very faint flattened crease and contemporary penciled owner's name to the front wrap. An exceptional catalogue of airships blimps and accessories manufactured and sold by Goodyear; a century later still the primary American company associated with blimps. As the technology was so new to the public at the time of publication there are nearly a dozen pages devoted to describing the principles of airship aviation and mechanics. Models with specifications descriptions and photographs presented include UA Tein Motored Pusher UB Twin Motored Airship Type A Pony Blimp Type FA Tractor Type FC Pusher and Type V Airship. Other balloons described includekite balloons spherical balloons and gas containers. Airship technology was developed by Goodyear and Goodrich in cooperation with the US Navy at the tail end of World War I. As such this is probably the earliest comprehensive marketing document for airships offered by Goodyear or any American blimp company and we could not locate an earlier Goodyear trade catalogue for airships or accessories in OCLC. That database lists about half a dozen holdings mostly at regional non-specializing institutions except for two copies at the Smithsonian. Without prices or obvious ordering instructions this catalogue was clearly meant more as a "show off" marketing piece and it is quite effective as such even to the modern reader. There can be no question that the Hindenburg disaster of 1937 did much to kill this otherwise promising transportation technology. Scarce in the trade. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company unknown
