Thank you for sharing this. I live in Zeppelin country not far away from its birthplay where the actual Zeppelins new generation are stationed. But back then, these huge airships had been exeptional air transport for a very short period.

1:50 "Town of Pernambuco..." Pernambuco isn't a city but a state. This is probably Olinda or the neighboring capital city Recife.

I'm a little perplexed as to how newspapers were seemingly delivered to this whilst in flight. If the immediately obvious explanation - That they're not _current_ newspapers, but rather _interest_ papers that were produced and loaded before the voyage (Think of the newspapers on cruise ships) - Isn't the case, then how did they receive deliveries of news without making an intermediate stop? 😳 Did they have some form of elaborate _plane-to-airship_ delivery system, or perhaps the airship collected bags of papers/mail in the same way the British _Travelling Post Offices_ used to? 😇

Yes the zeppelin did indeed had a aircraft hanger that could release and retrieve aircraft and I believe they had room for few

@dieseldragon6756 5 ай бұрын

@@45thnewsbrigade-tacticalop60 That sounds practical when it comes to _transporting_ aircraft from place to place, but surely not for receiving an aircraft _whilst in flight?_ 😳 I suppose a „Receiving bin“ (An open well) could be built into the top of the gas bag for aircraft to drop deliveries onto the airship from above, but I don't know if any airships ever had such a feature.

Three days, two of which in a tropical climate. Twenty passengers and crew dressed in costume. I guess weight restrictions meant water only for drinking and cooking.🤔 There is probably another reason, besides filming, that they hung out of windows, visited the engine pods and wandered around inside the hull.😄

Must have been pretty hot humm?! Showers were not as frequent as today's standards.
