Airship, USS Akron, Zeppelin Airbase, Sunnyvale CASunnyvale, CA CdsMellone's 2/13/31 -1, $30.00Addressed to:Francis Le BlondDetroit, Mich.The naval air station (NAS) was authorized by an Act of Congress, signed by President Herbert Hoover on 12 February 1931. Construction of the original facilities was begun 8 July 1931. The base was originally named Airbase Sunnyvale CAL as it was thought that calling it Mountain View would cause officials to fear airships colliding with mountainsides.The original station was commissioned on 12 April 1933 and dedicated NAS Sunnyvale.
