I recently ran across a substantial amount of digitized documents at NASM relating to airships in the WWII period, for the US mostly but with some involving other nationalities. It is mostly covering the 1930s through just after WWII, but there are a few from WWI and a fiew from as late as 1955(?).
The documents cover many airship related subjects - from technical design, to general operating procedures, to wartime operational tactics and basing, to post-war studies on using airships for cargo lift.
The links below are near the end of the batch generated by my search criteria. If you start there you can go backward through the list for somewhere around a thousand records. A place to start a search at least.
"Report - unit histories of Fleet Airships, Atlantic & Fleet Airship Wing Thirty, 1942-1944 | George Henry Mills Collection (NASM.1994.0022, ref86) | SOVA, Smithsonian Institution"
