Hugo Eckener with his pipe, close view, 1937

Framed against the light of a curtained window, Hugo Eckener, then almost seventy, talks to someone beside him, points with the stem of his pipe and puts it back in his mouth; the heavy face, the signet ring and the pipe were known from newsreels on both sides of the Atlantic. Since 1935 the new Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei, controlled by Göring's air ministry and Lufthansa, had run the airships, and Eckener had lost control of the ships he had made famous.
