My uncle, Lieutenant (j.g.) David Malcom
Loyd, was the only casualty in a ZPG-2 Blimp accident on May 14,
1959, at Lakehurst, New Jersey, Naval Air Station. He was pinned in the
gondola which struck the hanger as they were attempting to land in a very
heavy fog. Six others were injured and hospitalized. There were also others
with minor injuries.He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery shortly
thereafter. Perhaps you can verify this and add his name to your
list.
Thank You,
