This is one amazing book. The illustrations alone are worth the price. The narrative is packed with information on all aspects of the LZ-129 'Hindenburg'. What's more, the text is not dry as dust. Plenty of human interest in this book.
Of special interest is the section on why the fire happened. The authors debunk the "rocket fuel" cover myth, and the myth that it wasn't the hydrogen. Sadly, I must agree with the authors: the accident happened due to careless risk-taking on the part of 3 of the most experienced airship commanders in history.
I own 4 other books on this marvelous airship, but this one takes the cake. If you love airships, and are fascinated with the 'Hindenburg', then you need this book in your library. It's the best one out there.
