Summary

Description
English: Montage of four photographs of the incident in which three line handlers were pulled into the air when Akron accidentally climbed while attempting to land at Camp Kearney, near San Diego, California, on 11 May 1932.

The two views at left show Seaman Apprentice Charles M. Cowart clinging to the trail line as the airship crew slowly winched him on board. The photo at right is of Cowart on board the Akron after his rescue.

The view second from right shows Sailors Nigel Merton Henton and Harold Edsal holding onto the lines just after Akron lifted off. Both men fell to their deaths immediately after the photograph was taken.
