Signal Corps Dirigible No. 1 was the first powered aircraft ordered for the Signal Corps by the Aeronautical Division of the United States Army. The purchase of SC-1, a dirigible designed by Thomas Scott Baldwin, was the result of urgings by Chief Signal Officer Brigadier General James Allen. After seeing Baldwin demonstrate a dirigible at the St. Louis air meet in 1907, Allen had urged the U.S. Army to buy a dirigible, as many European armies had dirigibles by the turn of the century.

  • Signal Corps Dirigible No. 1 was the first powered aircraft ordered for the Signal Corps by the Aeronautical Division of the United States Army. The purchase of SC-1, a dirigible designed by Thomas Scott Baldwin, was the result of urgings by Chief Signal Officer Brigadier General James Allen. After seeing Baldwin demonstrate a dirigible at the St. Louis air meet in 1907, Allen had urged the U.S. Army to buy a dirigible, as many European armies had dirigibles by the turn of the century. On 5 August 1908, the Army tested SC-1 at Fort Myer, Virginia. The craft fell short of a 2-hour, 20 mph objective to meet a $8,000 per unit award. The Army formally accepted the craft as Signal Corps Dirigible No. 1 paying $5,737.50. On 28 Aug. 1908 Lieutenants Frank Lahm, , Thomas Selfridge and Benjamin Foulois were taught to fly the craft. After Second Lieutenant of the 6th Cavalry was assigned to duty in the Aeronautical Division, the balloon detachment was transferred to Fort Omaha, Nebraska. On 26 May, pilot Lieutenant Lahm and Lieutenant Foulois made a flight in SC-1 at Fort Omaha, and manoeuvred the craft at will. SC-1 remained there until scrapped in 1912. The Army did not purchase another dirigible until after World War I. (en)
  • O Signal Corps Dirigible No. 1 foi a primeira aeronave motorizada encomendada para o Signal Corps pela sua Divisão Aeronáutica. A compra do SC-1, um dirigível projetado por Thomas Baldwin, foi o resultado dos esforços do brigadeiro James Allen, depois de assistir à demonstração feita por Baldwin no encontro aéreo de St. Louis em 1907. Allen pressionou o exército para comprar um dirigível, pois os exércitos europeus já tinham dirigíveis desde a virada do século XX. Em 5 de agosto de 1908, o exército testou o SC-1 em Fort Myer, Virginia. A aeronave se enquadrou próxima ao objetivo voar por duas horas a 32 km/h para atingir o preço de $ 8.000 por unidade. O exército aceitou formalmente a aeronave como Signal Corps Dirigible No. 1, pagando $ 5.737,50. Em 28 de agosto de 1908, os tenentes Frank Lahm, Thomas Selfridge e Benjamin Foulois foram treinados para pilotar a aeronave. Depois que o segundo tenente John G Winter Jr, do sexto regimento de cavalaria, foi designado para servir na Aeronautical Division em 1909, o destacamento de balões foi transferido para , Nebraska. Em 26 de maio, os tenentes Lahm e Foulois fizeram um voo no SC-1 em Fort Omaha efetuando várias manobras. O SC-1 permaneceu lá até ser sucateado em 1912. O exército não adquiriu outro dirigível até depois da Primeira Guerra Mundial. (pt)
