    Built in France in 1919 books.google.com/books?id=9y8cBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA267 "The Zodiac ZDUS-1 and ZDUS-2 were ordered by the Navy and shipped to the US. Never operated by the Navy they were both apparently transferred to the Army, and one, the ZDUS-1, was operated by the Army at Langley Field, where the name was changed to ZD-1 and then to RN-1. The RN-1 was rebuilt with a significantly modified and lightened control car and two Liberty engines replacing the Renaults. In 1923 the RN-1 was rebuilt at Scott Field (Oklahoma). A new 340,000-cubic-foot (9,600 m3) envelope was provided, the control car was further modified and the two Liberty engines were replaced by Packards. RN-1 was put in storage at Scott Field during 1924. Scrapping followed." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_blimps_operated_by_the_USN S. also photos in - New-York tribune., October 17, 1920, Page 2 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1920-10-17/ed-... - New-York tribune., October 24, 1920, Image 53 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1920-10-24/ed-...
