Hindenburg, největší létající stroj všech dob, byl jedním z nejluxusnějších vzdušných korábů světa. Jeho pasažéři si užívali veškerého myslitelného komfortu, všeho pohodlí prvotřídního vznášejícího se hotelu, víc než třikrát většího než nejmohutnější z našich dopravních letadel. Sláva Hindenburgu vzala za své v burácejících plamenech a zanechala po sobě jedny z nejnezapomenutelnějších fotografií století. Podívejte se s námi do časů, kdy ohromující elegance obřích vzducholodí byla příslibem závratné budoucnosti, v níž se člověk konečně odpoutá od od země a ovládne nedozírné dálavy oblohy. Nahlédněte s námi do oněch dnů okny dobových fotografií i dokonalých maleb, nad nimiž se tají dech.
