Luftschiffbau Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg
Luftschiffbau Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg after its arrival at Lakehurst, New Jersey, 10 May 1936, following its first flight to North America from Friedrichshafen. The Hindenburg was intended to carry 50 passengers in luxury in a regularly scheduled service across the North Atlantic, however its destruction by fire while landing at Lakehurst during the early hours of 7 May 1937 effectively ended the golden age of the large passenger airships witnessed during the 1930s
