Full title reads: “Ohio, USA. A giant of the Skies. Finishing touches on Uncle Sam’s super airship the mighty ’Macom’.“ Ohio, United States of America. Views of the ’Macom’, a large airship in a hanger. Some of the superstructure of the airship has yet to be covered and the skeleton of the structure is visible. C/U of the nose of the airship. Voiceover tells us that this is the sister ship to the ’Akron’ and that is is 785 ft in length. Views inside the unfinished airship. The top fin of the ship is raised into position using winches. Shots of men pulling on ropes to raise the fin. N.B. Looking closely at the side of the airship the name appears to read “Macon“ so that may be correct. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
