The Hindenburg


The Hindenburg was the largest aircraft ever built. During it's second year of service it was destroyed by a fire while landing at Lakehurst Navel Air Station in New Jersey. Thirty five people died in the horrible fire. The Hindenburg's nick name was the Titanic of the sky. It was 804 feet long. The Titanic is only 78 feet longer. The Hindenburg was named after Paul Von Hindenburg, the Presedent of Germany.
