May 6, 1937 witnessed an air disaster that ended the era of commercial airship travel.

Before that day German dirigibles ruled the air.

Be a witness to an idyllic time in aviation history. 70 years ago the only way to travel was by airship- the Graf Zeppelin to be exact. Giant gas-filled balloons longer than three Boeing 747s placed end-to-end romanced the public’s imagination and became the height of luxury for long-distance air travel.

Through archival footage and photographs, historical illustrations, modern hi-def video and interviews with aviation experts, you’ll find yourself aboard the Graf Zeppelin and one of the largest aircraft ever built, the Hindenburg.
