    C-5B tail number AF83-1285. This airplane is the first C-5B, and was the 82nd C-5 built. For most of it's flight history it has been based with the 436 AW at Dover AFB.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-5_(blimp) "C-5 was a hydrogen inflated C class blimp operated by the U.S. Navy in 1918 and 1919. It was one of ten C class non-rigid airships built by Goodyear and Goodrich primarily for training and patrol duty for the navy during World War I. The C-5's engines were built by Hispano-Suiza, and its control car was built by Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. In early May 1919, the C-5 made a pioneering flight from its home base at Cape May, New Jersey to Montauk Point, New York and St. John's, Newfoundland, becoming the first airship to reach that city and in the process sending the first radio voice transmission from Newfoundland. " However, the transatlantic attempt, of which that was supposed to be the first hop, was a failure. When at St. Johns, Newfoundland, a "cord broke, and the C-5 began to lift off, tearing a few remaining cables that injured two crewmen as they sprang loose. Little jumped from the rising blimp, injuring his ankle, and the C-5 was blown eastward, over the Atlantic Ocean."
