Inside Goodyear Akron: How 5,000 Workers Built 134 Blimps in 36 Months — Hunted U-Boats on Atlantic

At dawn in 1942, slow-moving American blimps rose into hostile skies to confront Germany’s deadliest submarines. This is the untold story of the U.S. Navy’s K-class airships—fragile, underarmed, and astonishingly effective. Built at record speed inside Goodyear’s massive Airdock in Akron, Ohio, these helium-filled patrol ships became relentless guardians of Atlantic convoys. With endurance measured in hours instead of minutes, they hovered patiently over the sea, spotting periscopes, guiding destroyers, rescuing survivors, and forcing U-boats to surrender or sink. This film explores the engineering, industrial effort, and human endurance behind one of World War II’s most overlooked weapons, and the men and women who made it work when failure was not an option.
