The German Graf Zeppelin airship floats low above the ground. People are gathered below.
Shots of a group of Boy Scouts assisting in the landing of the Airship. They are holding on to the cabin / gondolier of the craft as if hangs inches above the ground. More shots of the gondolier.
Crowds run across the field to get a better look at the airship.
Passengers are getting on board. C/U of one gentleman looking out of the window of the craft.
Front on shot of the Graf Zeppelin as it begins to rise up into the air. A spray of ballast water comes out of the side of the balloon and the engines begin to turn over.
The Airship flies almost straight over the camera position - its name painted clearly on the side.

My mother grew up in Chicago in the 1920s, she lived on Cleveland Avenue near Lincoln Park. One day the Zeppelin flew over the city and everyone came outside to see it. The airship flew low over her neighborhood and she could hear the engine humming. She said it was one of the most amazing things she had ever seen at the time.
My gran at 99 still remembers the scouts holding down the zeppelin
I just connected this to an entry in my Grandad's scouting diary where he writes about being at this event: "I had the good fortune to to be among the party to hold the control cabin"!
I just love Air-Ships,I love to draw them.
Amazing footage!
Amazing vídeo ! Congratulations ! From Rio, Brazil.
Thanks for this video.
BEAUTIFUL MACHINE such a shame how she ended.
@Scopex
Yes. She was scrapped for her Duralumin in1940.
The sister ship "Hindenburg" ended in flames in Lakehurst/USA. Not "Zeppelin"
To think that just a couple years later those two countries would be in all out war with each other and the arrival of a German aircraft would not send hundreds out in the open with awe and joy, but run inside and curse them as the regime drops the bombs. 14 years of hard work to rekindle the relationship between the people after the first world war gone.
It was seven years later. Also, the RAF bombed Germany a number of times (about six, I believe) before Hitler's patience was stretched to the limit and he ordered retaliation.
If only the British didn’t declare war on Germany.
Safer to travel in the Hindenburg than a Boeing 737 Max in case of an accident.
LET BRING THE AIRSHIP LZ139 ZEPPELIN WITH HELIUM GAZ SO THIS IS THE FUTURE OF TRAVELLING.......
0:12 Seems Similar To Charles Muntz Zeppelin The Spirit Of Adventure In The 2000's Movie Up
And The Spirit of adventure is Actually based on Graf Zeppelin
AWESOME!!! Bring modern versions back… electric engines and ZERO emissions.
Not. A. Chance.
One accident in history and no more dirigibles.
…oh.. except Goodyear, Amazon, etc, etc… 🤔🤷♀️
There were a lot of accidents with airships. Anyway, the development of long range planes made airships (slow, expensive) obsolete.
@@701983 ..there are a lot of accidents with trains, yet the accident-free maglev train in Japan has yet to render these old trains obsolete. 🤔
@@imasmurfy1 And are these maglev trains cheaper than normal trains to build (the lines) and operate?
I think they may yet return as an ecological option.... But they would remain expensive sightseeing tours for the super-rich I think. More ecological than flying into space at least.
One accident with Concorde which led to its end too.
The huge Zeppelin must have been totally awesome to look at , so unfortunate they had to use hydrogen gas instead of helium at the time..
Although safe. Helium doesn't have the lifting capacity of hydrogen, even assuming it's pure helium. These beasts would have struggled getting airborne without being even bigger, or less weight carried.
@@rlevans0602Hugo Eckener originally planned to have the Hindenburg filled with helium. That's why it was so big. But the US navy had 4 helium filled rigid airships.
Is this filled with hydrogen or helium?
Hydrogen.
NONE of the German-operated zeppelins were ever inflated with helium. The US wouldn't sell the gas to Germany so the Germans had to use hydrogen. The US controlled the largest reserves of helium and just didn't trust the German government. By the early 1930s when the Hindenburg-class airships were designed and beginning construction, the Nazis governed Germany.
The zeppelins built for and constructed in the US (Los Angeles -- German built, war reparations for US-controlled zeppelins destroyed by German crews post-WW1 --, Shenandoah, Macon, Akron; the latter 3 were designed and built in the United States with the assistance of German engineers) were inflated with helium.
When Los Angeles was originally ferried from Germany to the US, she was inflated with hydrogen which was safely removed from her gas cells before she was reinflated with helium and operated by the US Navy. Of course, the Los Angeles was the most successful helium-inflated zeppelin. All the other US zeppelins were destroyed in fatal accidents!
