Thursday - The airships P.2 and P.3, of the so-called "semi-rigid" type, are deflated, disassembled and loaded in Naples on the steamer Toscana with destination Tripoli, where the construction of an airfield with two hangars is underway.
On the 16 day, a violent blubber destroys the two hangars of the aerooscope under construction and damages the airplane wrap.
The construction work is immediately resumed and the repair of the airships is promptly completed.
The two aeronautical vehicles can therefore carry out the first test ascension.
