Description
Photograph of a view of four dirigibles at the balloon school in Arcadia, ca.1918. The four large airships can be seen lined up across the image. They are floating low to the ground and are tethered down by large ropes. Uniformed soldiers can be seen on the ground beneath the large balloons. In the background, a line of tall trees stretches across the image, while tall mountains can be seen further in the distance.
