I am trying to find the video of a turning blimp. In the meanwhile, if you are into technical stuff you could have a look into this 1941 document by US War Department on airship physics (you can skip directly to p. 47):

Drag is one of the few physic parameters affecting SH planes. Adjusting them wisely might be required not only for improving their general airworthiness and their bombing accuracy, but also - within reasonable limits - for differentiating one aircraft from the other.
