Nonfiction- Airships (background)
Before airplanes were commonly used for
transportation, travelers usually crossed the
Atlantic by ship or for a short time before and
after World War 1, by airships. Airships are
often called zeppelins after Ferdinand Count
von Zeppelin of Germany, who designed the
most successful crafts. They are also known
as dirigibles or blimps.

Background (continued)
In 1936, the Hindenburg began commercial air service between
Germany and the US. During its short period of operation, it
carried 1,002 passengers on 19 scheduled flights. The flight in
May of 1937, in which 36 of 97 people aboard were killed when
the airship burst into flames while landing, marked the end of the
use of airships in commercial aviation. Today, airships are used
occasionally for commercial or recreational purposes.
