Narrative:
Leesburg (jyo) desperately needs a part-time tower on weekends. On this day, a single engine cessna taxied onto runway and took off as we were on short final. Pilot made no unicom announcement. On our go around it was necessary to climb above 1500 ft AGL floor of overlying iad class B airspace to avoid a collision with the cessna, which did not respond to our unicom xmissions. Because we were transmitting furiously on unicom, we were unable to call iad approach regarding their class B airspace.
