Dirigible Macon Drops Planes When Over L.A.

Many thousands of Angelenos had their first sight of the navy's giant dirigible Macon yesterday as the great airship sailed over the city on two occasions.

Early risers had the first glimpse of the big ship when she arrived from the north, on her way to join the fleet at the harbor.

When over the city the crew practiced dropping and picking up planes through the trapdoor in the bottom of the great bag.

Again, just as the lights of the city were beginning to blink on, the Macon made another appearance, sailing low, in several circuits, seeming barely to clear the hall of justice on one circuit.
