The Hindenburg in flight, swastikas on its tail fins

The long silver hull of a rigid airship moves over a flat shoreline with buildings and open water beyond; on the upper and lower tail fins the swastika stands in a white disc on a dark band, and a gondola hangs beneath the hull. The source places this flight of the German airship LZ 129 Hindenburg over New York City before its landing at Lakehurst.
