The Goodyear Airdock, is in Akron, Ohio and the structure was completed on November 25, 1929. The Airdock was used for the construction of the USS Akron and her sister ship, the USS Macon. Hangar One at Moffett Federal Field (formerly Naval Air Station Moffett Field), is located in Mountain View, California. The structure was completed in 1931.
Additional hangars, which housed the USS Akron (ZRS-4) and USS Macon (ZRS-5), exist in Akron, Ohio (the Goodyear Airdock, 1929) and Sunnyvale, California (Hangar One, Moffett Federal Airfield, 1932). The ships were constructed in Akron. The Akron was based in Lakehurst while the Macon was based at Moffett Field.
It provided an unusually extensive room for the construction of "lighter-than-air" ships (airships, dirigibles, or blimps). The first two airships to be constructed and launched at the Goodyear Airdock were Akron and its sister ship, Macon, built in 1931 and 1933, respectively. These two airships were 785 feet (239 m) in length.
As a consequence, a pair of new airships was authorized in June 1926, [8] with the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation winning the contract to build them in October 1928. [9] To facilitate construction, the company built a brand-new construction and storage hangar, which came to be known as the Goodyear Airdock, in 1929.
