View of the airship's lower starboard side, amidships between
frames 125 and 147.5, taken during her commissioning ceremonies
at Lakehurst, New Jersey, 27 October 1931.
This section was left uncovered until after the ceremonies so
the Public could see into Akron's interior. Important
design features are labeled.
