    An historic control car called C-49 was first put into service as the Goodyear blimp Enterprise Aug. 23, 1934. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is donating this important piece of U.S. aeronautical heritage to the National Air and Space Museum. Goodyear manufactured the C-49 control car in 1933. In 1942 it was acquired by the U.S. Navy and designated L-5. It spent most of the war as a training craft and saw some patrol duty; it is one of only two surviving L-ship control cars with a record of WWII service.
