The Man himself.....

Rare Maybach Zeppelin

The story

Story of the Hindenburg and the model LZ129

(as a boy I really liked Zeppelins! Loved this place!!!!!)

One of the original motor pods from the Hindenburg fire.....

In flight, each pod had a mechanic fulltime inside taking care of the engine

2 hour shifts during the day and 3 hour shifts at night

The noise and the cold weather was a big problem
