The loss of so many blimps in Florida near the end of WW II reminds me of the similar loss of so many Imperial German zeppelins near the end of WW I:

"On 5 January 1918, a fire at Ahlhorn destroyed four of the specialised double sheds along with four Zeppelins and one Schütte-Lanz. In July 1918, the Tondern Raid conducted by the RNAS, destroyed two Zeppelins in their sheds."  per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeppelin 

"The event appeared to be an accident, but sabotage was never fully dismissed."  per http://www.forgottenairfields.com/germany/lower-saxony/oldenburg/ah...
