The Hindenburg over Lower Manhattan

The long hull of the airship moves across the sky high above the southern end of Manhattan: the skyscrapers of the financial district crowd together at the water's edge, the piers reach out into the river, and the harbour opens beyond. The Hindenburg crossed New York on its transatlantic flights of 1936 and again on the afternoon of 6 May 1937, hours before its landing at Lakehurst.
