A scrapbook with photographs and newspaper clippings relating to the dirigible flights of Roy Knabenshue in Pasadena, California, in October 1913. There are numerous photographs of the dirigible frame; the envelope (or balloon); the dirigible on the ground and in the air; people watching and moving the aircraft; pilot Walter Brookins; and aerial views of Pasadena taken from the dirigible. There are also three photographs of a spherical balloon called the "Fairy."
