Description
In May 1937 the great German zeppelin Hindenburg made world-wide news by exploding just as it began to moor at Lakehurst, after one of its frequent Transatlantic flights. Luxuriously built, carrying 50 passengers in great comfort across the Atlantic in two days, the big ship was the pride of Hitler's Third Reich. But its flights were made under the constant threat of sabotage or crank mischief in those tense, strife ridden days leading up to the Second World War. The consequent explosion, the inquiry, the possibilities of sabotage, and the whereabouts of the survivors are the close concern of the author. Adoplh August Hoehling (1914-2004) was a writer and military historian. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II.
