LA REPUBLIQUE.
La Republique, an airship of the semi-rigid type, was
built for the French Government by Lebaudy Bros., and
made its first flight in September, 1908, covering a distance
of 200 kilometres in 6 hours, returning to its starting point
without descent. In length it was about 210 ft., while it
was fitted with twin screws driven by a motor of 80 h.p.
A sister ship to La Republique was La Patrie, which
broke away from its moorings and was never found. La
Republique in 1909 also met with disaster.
