Around The World By Zeppelin
Discussion
Anyone else enjoy this?
Fantastic footage and the scale of the Zeppelin! Good positive story without the usual Hindenburg downer. When I win the Eurolottery I'm going to commission LZ131 "The Hugo Eckener"
Wonderful airmanship and what an ability to read the weather.
One anecdote was that approaching the Golden Gate bridge he ordered the engines to be idled and slow right down. He was challenged that they would lose time on the flight. He replied that he wanted the sunset to be at the right level so the ship would be silhouetted against the bridge to give the best possible view and best publicity. Top Man!
