I didn't really know a lot about the Hindenburg disaster but reading about it, it sounds so awful. I like that you've got a lot of history information here, my son is at school and history is his favourite subject so when he has to do a project I'm sure he'll be able to get a lot from this site.

A few months later Schmeling traveled on LZ-129 again, this time from Germany to America on August 5-8, 1936, in anticipation of a fight with James J. Braddock which was scheduled for September 30, 1936, but which never took place. Max Schmeling returned to Germany in June, 1936, via LZ-129 after defeating Joe Louis.

But the <a href="http://www.airships.net/hindenburg/flight-schedule/hindenburg-flight-passenger-diary" rel="nofollow">Passenger's Diary Entry by passenger Clearence Hall</a> states Schmeling was a passenger going to Lakehurst before the fight. Also this Diary is listed (Passenger description) for the August 5 - August 8 Frankfurt-Lakehurst. This is two months after the fight. Something is wrong. 1) When did Schmeling come to the states, was it on the Hindenburg and the date? 2) If the Diary is correct what is the date of the Hindenburg flight that Mr Hall was on with Schmeling? Thanks, Ron Schmeling – Hindenburg Flights:

This is a long-range view with the Custom House Tower and the old United Shoe Building in the foreground. This photo was made into a hand-colored postcard with the inaccurate caption "General View of Boston by Aeroplane." As far as I can tell this photo was taken at the arrival of the first 1937 flight, but I would like to confirm it. I would be happy to send you a scan and share it with your readers.

I mistakenly said that was it but upon closer examination it is the LZ129. I have been able to determine that one of the autographs on the photo is that of the pilot, but I dont recognize any of the other names. If someone cares to write to me I will send a copy of the photo and perhaps we can identify them. Regards, Chuck Love. I would like to apologize for my earlier comments regarding the LZ128.

The airship is marked "O-LZ129" maybe the O is a "D", it has swastikas on the tail fins and the olympic ring on the side of the ship forward of the LZ129. If anyone is interested I could forward a c opy of the photograph and they may be able to identify the other signatures...Chuck Love I just found an exemplar of Max Pruss signature on a post card and it is indeed his autograph on the picture, along with five others but I dont recognize them enough to try to find out who they are.

Not being familiar with those people I dont know who they are but one appears to be that of Max Pruss (there are five others). I would to see an examplar of Max Pruss' signature if someone could send it to me.

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 17:07:42 +0000 http://www.airships.net/?page_id=1042#comment-4037 I currently live in Wiesbaden Germany in an old apartment. My next door neighbor, who has lived in the building for many years, has a file of old photographs taken of and from the building. Two of the pictures are of labeled "Hindenburg, 1937" and are taken from my balcony. Looks like the Hindenburg to me, headed south over Wiesbaden, Germany. I don't believe there is an exact date on the photos, but there are leaves on the trees, which mean now earlier than late April. Don't know if you are interested in a copy....I could Digitize and send then on to you. Just thought this might be of interest. Let me know I currently live in Wiesbaden Germany in an old apartment.
