Step aboard the Hindenburg on its final Atlantic crossing-explore the giant Zeppelin from the inside, then follow the Lakehurst disaster second by second.

Through immersive first-person framing, cinematic full-color illustrations, diagrams, maps, cutaways, and timelines, Hindenburg: The Final Flight puts readers inside one of history's most extraordinary flying machines.

On May 6, 1937, Hindenburg was approaching Lakehurst, New Jersey after crossing the Atlantic. For passengers, the journey was almost over. Then a small flame appeared near the tail-and everything changed.

Inside, readers will:

  • Explore the passenger decks, hidden crew spaces, control car, engines, and radio room
  • Discover how a 245-metre rigid airship could fly and cross an ocean
  • Experience life aboard during Hindenburg's final Atlantic journey
  • Follow the final disaster, escape, and rescue moment by moment
  • Examine the evidence investigators used to explain the fire-and what remains uncertain
  • Discover why Hindenburg changed the future of passenger airship travel
A dramatic, age-appropriate visual history for curious readers ages 10+ who love aviation, engineering, famous historical events, and nonfiction that feels like an adventure.
