Building the frame of an airship, 1937

Inside a huge hangar the curving ring girders of an airship's aluminium skeleton rise in a lattice many times the height of the men who crouch on the scaffolding at its base; in close view a young mechanic in a dark jersey studies a girder full of lightening holes, then works on it with a heavy tool. Airships were still being built in Germany in 1937, but the burning of the Hindenburg at Lakehurst that May ended the age of passenger flights across the Atlantic.
