Airship hangar doors opening, 1937

The curved end of an immense hangar, clad in panels and topped by a mast, rises above low barracks and a crane. Slowly the two leaves of its gate slide apart, and in the dark interior the silver nose of an airship appears behind a mooring tower. The ship is not named in the picture. Airship hangars were among the largest buildings in the country, built to take ships of up to 245 metres, longer than any airliner built since.
