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.
This is a story based on World War II events at the island of Guadalcanal, where some of the fiercest sea battles of 1942 occurred. Memories of some of the traced survivors are used, accompanied by photographs and paintings.
