Hi,

Kinda abused the forum's photo upload facility to show some pictures from a 1936 book on airships on a local forum which doesn't have upload facilities. (sorry John D.

).

Might as well show them here as well.

The book is called 'Auf Luftpatrouille und Weltfahrt' and was written by Ernst A. Lehmann, who was an airship captain between 1909 and 1937.

Lehmann was on board of the Hindenburg on may 6th, 1937 as a supervising captain when it caught fire during the landing in Lakehurst. He survived the disaster, badly burned and died in hospital some 20 hours later.

The inside of an airship, during the inflating of the actual internal gas balloons.

Taken during WW1, a row of bombs ready for action inside a Zeppelin.

I wonder if any lugers were issued to Zeppelin crew and if they were marked that way...
