aerohead,
Hoerner's book is also informative but not all that free of the conventional automobile straight-jacket.
I think the Los Angeles is another airship along the lines of the 1906 Fuhrman (Prandtl's student) airship. They really seem about the same, and the only reason I specifically use the USS Akron zrs4 is that the testing reported by Freeman 1934 is by far the most complete and the best explained. It also was done at a scale where the actual test body was about the size of a car, so no real scaling is even needed. That report is free and very well detailed.
