"Le Jaune" Airship
The airship, Le Jaune, built by France’s Lebaudy brothers, glided past the Eiffel Tower in Paris at 11:15 a.m. on November 20, 1903.
The name Le Jaune (“The Yellow”) came from a coat of yellow lead chromate that was used to seal the airship envelope.
They constructed an airship hangar at Moisson, near the River Seine downstream from Paris and were instrumental in the development of airships, and a series of semi-rigid airships in the early years of the twentieth century.
