  1. An image in my mind that stuck with me was a passage in the opening of the book Unbroken about Louis Zamperini and his incredible story of survival first on a raft in the Pacific for 50 days then a Japanese POW camp. The scene describes his home in LA as the 800+ foot Hindenberg is flying over it – virtually like an eclipse as it is blocking the son for some time.

  2. You could could be right – I think the Hindenburg flew the Atlantic route – I just remember from the passage it was big – 800+ feet – and German

    One wonders how air travel could have changed had not for that tragic explosion
