Brilliant Speaker

a dramatic presentation by Andrew Lound in his talk “Liner of the Skies – The Hindenburg”.  The airship was the pride of Germany, the greatest airship in history, the epitome of luxury air travel in the 1930’s and as big as The Titanic.  The history of airship travel was however fraught with tragedy and technical brilliance but with the rise of National Socialism and the fear of war, The Hindenburg became a propaganda weapon much to the anger of her designer Hugo Eckener.  In a remarkable presentation Andrew captures a lost age and examines what might have caused the loss of the world’s greatest airship.
