Description
This Moffett Macon Akron T-shirt honors Admiral William A. Moffett, a leader in U.S. naval aviation. The design features Moffett appearing over the USS Akron as it floats through the clouds. A bold American flag waves in the background, while a Sparrowhawk biplane soars toward the front, symbolizing airship-launched aircraft.
Moffett strongly urged building the USS Akron and USS Macon, two of the most advanced airships of their time. His vision combined the best of airships and airplanes for the era. Under his leadership the US Navy made major advances in aviation. Sadly, Moffett died in 1933 from the USS Akron crash, ending his pioneering career.

Absolutely gorgeous graphics and colors that bring the pictures of Captain Moffett and the proud ship next to him almost 3D like. Great for any airship enthusiast. The shirt itself is a perfect fit and comfy. You can’t beat the price and fast shipping.
