I am not sure whether this is the right section but, anyhow, here are the N1 Norge and the N4 Italia airships.

Very nice, but Norge & Italia weren't identical. Italia was slightly smaller and they differed in the window arrangement in their gondolas.

Norge vs. Italia
Length: 348 ft (106 m) 341 ft, 4 inches (104 m)
Diameter: 64 ft (19,5 m) 60 ft, 8 inches (18.5 m)
Norge

Italia

Oh come on. You've got a perfectly good looking picture right here in the thread, all you have to do is look up Norge's size.

For crying out loud, kids nowadays. Why, back in my day, we didn't have a bazillion linedrawings on the internet! We had crappy photographs! We had to wing it! You young whippersnappers have it easy, I tell you. Getting disheartened by not having a linedrawing...

The airship Italia is coming from a good linedrawing. Norge was just a cut&paste.
The two airships are definetely different but not so much like specs coming from the net: wiki is showing different numbers changing the language....
I'll fix Norge after a check about its dimensions.

As written yesterday the specs in the web are quite wrong:
Italia's length float between 104 and 105.4 m!
Norge was definetely longer but it was 116 m and not 106: I got the linedrawing and the correct specs from a sure source ( old books via a fiend)
... At least the flag is OK!
