About this Video:

The German zeppelin LZ129 Hindenburg remains an icon of aviation tragedy because it was one of the first air disasters recorded on newsreel film for immediate release in theaters throughout America. But the airship represents much more than the end of the great lighter-than-air era. An engineering feat that roused pride in Germans in the midst of an economic depression and political turmoil, it was the world’s largest flying post office; the first regular North Atlantic passenger and freight air service as part of an evolving international communications and transport system; a worksite; and a luxury liner.
