United States Navy - Goodyear ZSG-3 airship K-120
United States Navy - Goodyear ZSG-3 airship K-120 (BuAer number 33512), based at Oakland Naval Air Station in California, being used as a recruitment billboard for the US Naval Reserve. The K-class blimps originated in 1931 as the USNs first blimp with the car attached to the envelope, as opposed to suspended from cables. Given a variety of designations, with modifications and design changes, this particular K-class started life ca1940 as a ZNPK-3 (Z=airship, N=non-rigid, P=Patrol, K=K-class), the N (for non-rigid) was dropped in 1947 and re-designated again in 1954 as a ZSG-3 (Z=airship, S=anti-submarine, G=Goodyear). The USN fairly rapidly shut down lighter than air operations from 1959, with the last blimps leaving the inventory in 1961. Date: 1959

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the United States Navy's Goodyear ZSG-3 airship K-120 (BuAer number 33512) serving as a recruitment billboard for the US Naval Reserve at Oakland Naval Air Station in California. The K-class blimps, which originated in 1931 as the US Navy's first blimp with the car attached to the envelope instead of suspended from cables, underwent various designations and modifications throughout their history. This particular K-class airship began life around 1940 as a ZNPK-3 (Z=airship, N=non-rigid, P=Patrol, K=K-class), but was redesignated as a ZSG-3 (Z=airship, S=anti-submarine, G=Goodyear) in 1954. The US Navy rapidly phased out lighter-than-air operations from 1959, with the last blimps leaving the inventory in 1961. Here, the K-120 proudly displays the US Naval Reserve's message to potential recruits, showcasing the versatility and importance of these historic aircraft in the US Navy's fleet.
