Rivet Head posted this Life magazine photo of three sailors. The focus of the Rivet Head post was the men's attire. What interested me, however, was their location. Based on their surroundings, I believe these men were riding in the gondola of a U.S. Navy blimp. The windows, bulkheads, chairs and other structures are lightweight. The bulkhead slopes outward, and curves at the rear to form an observation post, which was perfect for searching out enemy submarines, the primary job of Navy blimps during WW2.
