Question of whether aircraft accidents have been due to lightning or static is discussed; small chances for lightning striking airplane; airships have immense surface of electrically poor conductance; from height of 3000 or 4000 ft., difference of potential to ground is over 100,000 volts; effects of radio and hydrogen; precautions against static on airships.
