The Hindenburg a year before the explosion...



Item # 604326

May 24, 1936

NEW YORK TIMES Rotogravure Section, May 24, 1936 

* LZ 129 Hindenburg

Over one-third of page 3 is taken up with a great photo of the airship Hindenburg, with caption: "Ready For The Return Voyage On Her Second Visit to the United States. The Hindenburg tied up to the mooring mast at the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst..." with a bit more. The facing page has a photo of Howard Hughes in his plane: "From the Great Lakes to the Pacific in Record Time..." with details (see). Great photo of the Hindenburg nearly a year before it's tragic end at the very same location.
This is just the Rotogravure section, with 8 pages. A 6 1/2 by 11 inch piece is clipped from the third leaf, obviously not affecting either mentioned report. Otherwise this is "rag edition" in very nice condition.
