La République (airship)
The Lebaudy ''République'' (later known as ''La République'') was a semi-rigid airship built for the French army in Moisson, France, by sugar manufacturers Lebaudy Frères. She was a sister ship of the ''Patrie'', the main differences between the two being in the dimensions of the gasbag (or 'envelope') and the ballonet.〔Squier G.O. in Flight Vol. I No. 10〕〔 Although she was operationally successful, the ''République'' crashed in 1909 due to a mechanical failure, killing all four crew members.
==Background==
The ''République's'' predecessor, the Lebaudy ''Patrie'', had been so successful that three further airships of the same design were ordered by the French government in March 1907.〔
〕 Two of them saw service under the names ''République'' and ''Liberté''. The ''République'' was completed in June 1908, flew for the first time June 24 and was handed over to the French army on 31 July of that year.
Other governments had been equally impressed, and the Russian and Austrian armies each ordered an airship of the same design. The ''Russie'' saw service in Russia as the ''Lebed'', and the ''Autrichienne'' (built under license in Vienna by the Motor-Luftfahrzeug Gesellschaft) was operated by the Austrian army under the designation ''M.II''.〔d'Orcy, 1917, p.55〕
