Title: Horaire et tarifs des services transatlantiques de la Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei Author: Place: [Frankfurt] Publisher: Deutsche Zeppelin-Reedere Date: 1936 Description: Folding brochure, 3 panels on each side. Rendering of a Zeppelin on two panels. Folded size 21x10 cm. (8¼x4"). LZ 129 Hindenburg (D-LZ 129) was a large German commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship, the lead ship of the Hindenburg class, the longest class of flying machine and the largest airship by envelope volume. It was designed and built by the Zeppelin Company .The airship flew from March 1936 until destroyed by fire 14 months later on May 6, 1937, at the end of the first North American transatlantic journey of its second season of service. Thirty-six people died in the accident, which occurred while landing at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. The Hindenburg made 17 round trips across the Atlantic Ocean in 1936, its first and only full year of service, with ten trips to the United States and seven to Brazil. The Hindenburg and its sister ship, the LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II (launched in September 1938), were the only two airships ever purpose-built for regular commercial transatlantic passenger operations, although the latter never entered passenger service before being scrapped in 1940. Schedule and rates for Zeppelin flights between Europe and South America in the latter half of 1936, from Frankfurt to Rio de Janeiro and back, with a stop at Recife in northeast Brazil on the way, and connecting airline flights to Porto Allegro, Montevideo and Buenos Aires. Though dirigibles had been crossing the Atlantic between Germany and South America for some years by 1936, this brochure features a craft with the Nazi swastika on the fins, a feature not present before 1935, when Hermann Göring, the German Air minister, formed a new airline, the Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei (DZR), which took over operation of airship flights. OCLC/WorldCat lists only one copy of this brochure, but does not locate the library in which it is present. Lot Amendments Condition: Fine or nearly so. Item number: 239662
