Worker climbing the girders of an airship, 1937

Against the bright glazing of the hangar roof, a worker in overalls climbs a narrow lattice mast hand over hand, swings onto a horizontal girder and moves along it, a web of struts and bracing wires all round him. No safety line is to be seen. The size of the hangar can be measured by the man: the ring frames of an airship of the Hindenburg class stood more than forty metres high.
