Fire in the Sky: The History of the Hindenburg Disaster

On May 6, 1937, the famous passenger zeppelin burst into flames while attempting to dock in New Jersey, and the horrific scenes were captured on film and broadcast over the radio. The Hindenburg was carrying nearly 100 people and was still hundreds of feet in the air when it caught fire, so the fact that only 35 people died between the fire and the airship plummeting to the ground was much lower than it could have been. Nonetheless, the fact that the world could see the incredible sight and hear Morrison's notorious broadcast shortly after the disaster immediately heightened its importance, and the Hindenburg's name is still instantly recognizable over 75 years later. This book chronicles the events that led up to one of history's most famous air disasters. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Hindenburg like never before, in no time at all--Publisher.
