Hindenburg airship under construction...



Item # 686236

February 22, 1936

CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, February 22, 1936

* Hindenburg - LZ-129 zeppelin announcement
* Lakehurst, New Jersey disaster fame


The front page has a one column heading: "Germany's New Zep To Fly To U.S. May 6 On Maiden Voyage" (see) Early report on the infamous airship while still under construction.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 32 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions.  Nice condition. A few small binding holes along the spine.
