	The Hindenburg (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hindenburg (1975) is a movie based on the disaster of the German airship Hindenburg.
		In reality, while the zeppelins were certainly used as a propaganda symbol by the Third Reich, and anti-Nazi forces might have had the motivation for sabotage, the theory of sabotage was investigated at the time and no firm evidence for such sabotage was ever put forward.
		The Hindenburg made extensive use of matte paintings to bring the Zeppelin to life, in addition to a highly-detailed 25-foot long miniature which was "flown" via wires on a Universal Studios soundstage.

	airship
		In a nonrigid airship, also known as a blimp, the shape of the gas bag is maintained by the internal pressure of the enclosed gas.
		In a rigid airship, the form of the gas bag is determined by a rigid framework, usually made of aluminum or a special aluminum alloy called Duraluminium; the framework is formed of longitudinal girders and cross-rings, also made of girders.
		Airships did excel as defensive weapons, and the British used nonrigid airships to patrol their coasts and rigid airships for convoy protection.

	Hindenburg (airship) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LZ 129 Hindenburg was a German zeppelin that was destroyed by fire while landing at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey on May 6, 1937.
		The Hindenburg was originally intended to be filled with helium, but a United States military embargo on helium led the Germans to modify the design of the ship to use highly flammable hydrogen as the lift gas.
		Proponents of the "static spark" theory point out that the airship's skin was not constructed in a way that allowed its charge to be evenly distributed, and the skin was separated from the duralumin frame by nonconductive ramie cords.

	Airship Web Resources for Students
		An airship is an aircraft consisting of a cigar-shaped balloon that carries a propulsion system (propellers), a steering mechanism, and accommodations for passengers, crew, and cargo.
		Airships, which get their shape only in cause of the pressure of the lifting-gas inside the envelope are called airships of the non-rigid type.
		Semi-rigid airships are airships, which are a hybrid between a rigid airship and a blimp.

		The Hindenburg was targeted by the charge because the charge usually connects to the highest object at the time.
		During the construction of the Hindenburg there was even a letter written by a German engineer warning the creators of the danger that could be caused by using this particular compound.
		The Germans were so secure in their dominance of the ‘lighter-than-air’ technology that it wasn’t possible for them to admit that their design and materials had failed.

		The fundamental difference between the airship and the balloon is that the former is powered and horizontally controllable and the latter is neither.
		Modern airships serve a number of utilitarian functions, but they remain relative oddities in the sky and are generally known only as flying billboards and for flashing advertising messages and transmitting television images of sporting events.
		The belief is also belied by the fact that the Hindenburg was designed from the start to be lifted by hydrogen (because of the disparity in lifting strength between hydrogen and helium, weights and stresses have to be calculated differently in the design of airships intended to use one or the other).

	Hindenburg tragedy still a mystery.
		The explosion, described by a reporter at the scene as, "one of the worst catastrophes", occurred when the Zeppelin airship was about to land at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station after a 2 and a half day trip from Frankfurt, German.
		According to Bain, the evidence suggests that a static spark ignited the outer cloth cover of the airship that was coated with a highly flammable varnish.
		Professor J. DeLaurier, an airship technology expert at the University of Toronto’s Aerospace Studies Institute, agrees that most of the deaths were not directly attributable to the burning hydrogen.

		This disaster foreshadowed the end of the commercial rigid airship, and the end of an era.
		The base served as a training and operational center and well as a development center for what was believed would be a viable commercial transportation industry.
		Smaller, non-rigid airships known as blimps also operated from the base as anti-submarine aircraft.

		The burning of the airship happened so quickly that it was amazing that any of the 97 passengers and crew escaped with their lives.
		Yet the Hindenburg fascinates the public, because its destruction ended the brief era of passenger-carrying dirigible airships that carried their passengers in luxury around 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) a day.
		The Hindenburg disaster illustrates how easy it is to swing from one hypothesis to another while ignoring possibilities in between, especially when agendas will benefit from one claim or another.

		Outside, one can feel the history in the air at this forgotten site, curiously left as flat, open, and inviting as it was on that day in 1937, when a bomb dramatically announced the end of 36 lives and brought the silvery giant, and an elegant age, to the ground.
		True, airships were intimidating weapons for the Germans in the early stages of WWI.
		On airships, the journey itself was as important as the destination; the quality of flight was not sacrificed to the quantity and speed of the miles covered.

	PROFESSORS' 'HINDENBURG' RESEARCH FEATURED ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL
		When the German airship Hindenburg exploded into a ball of flame at 7:35 p.m., on May 6, 1937, while attempting to land in the midst of a light rain and a sky filled with moderate electrical disturbances at Lakehurst, N.J., it was considered one of the world's greatest tragedies.
		Although several investigations have been conducted in the ensuing years, the cause of the crash, which killed 36 of the 97 passengers on board, remains a subject of debate among scientists and amateur investigators.
		Stahl said he also enjoyed working with the film crew and some of the original evidence used at the time of the incident to determine what might have caused the Hindenburg disaster, including some original fl and white photos of the explosion that were used as evidence in the original investigation.

		As it reached its final destination in New Jersey, it hovered over its landing spot and was beginning to be pulled down to the ground by landing lines by over 200 crewmen when disaster struck.
		Some Germans even cried foul play, suspecting sabotage intended to sully the reputation of the Nazi regime.

		The village and the reservoir at Stocks in Bowland was passed over by the "Hindenburg" at surprisingly low level and there was a local suspicion of aerial espionage at the time.
		During the war large formations of enemy aircraft appeared to use the reservoir as a reference point prior to turning for bombing raids on Liverpool and Manchester, presumably as the large expanse of water would reflect clearly from the air.

		Majestic and serene, airships captured the popular imagination in the early years of the 20th Century with their promise of high-speed, long-range transport.
		The idea of using airships as passenger carriers lasted until 1937, when the German airship Hindenburg crashed in a ball of flame in Lakehurst, New Jersey.
		In present-day 2046, airships have gained new prominence with the demise of large-scale jet transport.

		Captain Rosendahl commanded the heavy cruiser Minneapolis during the last months 1942 and the first part of 1943, receiving the Navy Cross for his heroism and leadership in saving that ship after she was torpedoed during the Battle of Tassafaronga, off Guadalcanal, at the end of November 1942.
