Aircraft Depicted:  Airship [other products featuring this aircraft]

Late in the afternoon of Saturday, 8th August 1936, the giant German airship Hindenburg appeared in the sky above Baltimore. Unable to land at nearby Lakehurst due to unfavourable weather conditions, her Captain Ernst A Lehmann made the decision to take his passengers on a sight-seeing tour until the weather conditions improved, taking the great ship over Atlantic City and Washington before heading north to the city of Baltimore where she circled twice at an altitude of just 1,000ft. After 15 minutes, the Hindenburg slid away to Philadelphia, finally landing at Lakehurst at 18.05 after a 5,060 mile flight from Germany which she achieved in 67 hours and 31 minutes.
