From inside front cover :
"This
souvenir booklet telling the story of the U.S.S. "Akron," the Akron
Municipal Airport and sketching the highlights of the City of Akron has been
prepared so that visitors to and residents of the city might have something of a
permanent and official record of facts which we regard with justifiable pride.
Akron has long enjoyed world fame as a rubber manufacturing centre and now takes
front rank in production of lighter-than-air craft while at the same time
providing facilities second to none for heavier-than-air craft activities.
You will find Akron has many other unique and interesting features from both
industrial and civic standpoints and we hope you will take advantage of the
opportunity to acquaint yourself with them."
