I have a passion for aviation history, much like most of you reading this article I suspect. When traveling, I do my best to search for any locations nearby my intended destination which might hold a place in aviation lore; luckily, the United States still offers plenty of such sites. During a recent trip to Akron, Ohio, I took the opportunity to visit the former Goodyear Aircraft Corporation (GAC) factory located within the premises of Akron-Fulton Airport. This was the birthplace of America's brief flirtation with dirigibles, built and launched from the gargantuan Airdock, which is still standing and a protected structure.
