A EXCEPTIONAL 1937 HINDENBERG CRASH COVER BEARING MULTIPLE VON HINDENBERG ISSUES.
The German Zeppelin Hindenburg made sixty-three flights, including ten roundtrips to the United States in 1936. It met tragedy May 6, 1937. Attempting to land at Lakehurst, New Jersey, the giant airship burst into flames near the mooring
mast. In only thirty-two seconds, the Zeppelin was smoldering wreckage. Amazingly, nearly two-thirds of the passengers and crew survived (thirty-five people on board died plus one member of the ground crew; sixty-two survived). Postal
officials salvaged approximately 358 pieces from the 17,609 estimated pieces of mail on the flight. (Image1) |
