Dirigible is Frank Capra's 1931 adventure film about the competition between U.S. naval fixed-wing and airship pilots trying to reach the South Pole.
Fay Wray stars, as do Jack Holt and Ralph Graves, who also played fliers in Capra's 1929 talkie, Flight. In fact this film had been intended to emulate the success of another movie with a very similar plot (1927's Wings.)
- Dirigible at the Internet Movie Database
- Dirigible as SF: scifilm.org calls it "marginally science fictional". (Capra later planned to make a fully science fictional movie but was never able to.[citation needed])
