{"product_id":"zeppelin-hindenburg","title":"Zeppelin Hindenburg","description":"‘It burst into flames! … It’s burning, bursting into flames and it’s – and it’s falling on the mooring mast and … this is terrible. This is one of the worst catastrophes in the world.’On 6 May 1937 the pioneering Zeppelin Hindenburg, LZ-129, ended its career in flames when its hydrogen lifting gas ignited while landing at Lakehurst, New Jersey. But the airship had already completed sixty-two successful flights before this fateful day, catering to Nazi officials, socialites and the well heeled. Hindenburg offered cutting-edge transport technology with luxury and style, making it a spectacle to behold on both sides of the Atlantic, and was expected to be just the first of many giant passenger Zeppelins. Three world-renowned experts have collaborated to create the definitive history of the Zeppelin Hindenburg, using stunning black-and-white and colour photographs, rare ephemera and detailed diagrams to highlight the sheer style of this mammoth lighter-than-air craft and explain the shocking disaster that signalled the end of airship travel.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57555342000501,"sku":"9781837055135","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/zeppelin-hindenburg","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
