Airship frame under construction in a hangar, 1937

Looking down the length of a vast hangar, scaffolding towers carry the open ring frames of an airship under construction, while the fabric-covered curve of a finished hull fills the upper edge of the frame; carts and crates stand on the floor far below. A closer view runs along a lattice of girders and a long gas duct. In 1937 the Zeppelin company was building LZ 130, the sister ship of the Hindenburg; after the Hindenburg burned at Lakehurst on 6 May 1937, the new ship was redesigned for helium, which the United States then refused to sell.
