Aviation book
THE ZEPPELIN STORY is unique in being the only complete episode in the history of Flight : that is to say, it has a beginning and an end. The beginning was in the year 1900, when the huge and clumsy brain - child of a remarkable old Junker aristocrat rose hazardously into the air above Lake Constance one autumn day. Graf Zeppelin watched anxiously from the enormous hanger at Friedrichshaven ; on the banks of the Lake stood young Hugo Eckener, an economist who was reporting the event for that famous newspaper, the Frankfurter Zeitung.

( ... ) The end came, as everyone over the age of twenty - five remembers, with the catastrophe at Lakehurst, New Jersey, when the giant Hindenburg, the pride of Germany, burst into flames at its moorings, in full view of the news cameras of the world.
