Postcard From The Hindenburg

This pictured postcard was scheduled to be carried on a flight that was cancelled over Germany on May 1, 1937. It was then flown on the airship Hindenburg that left for America on May 3rd, and dropped several hours later in a weighed down mail bag over Frankfurt. Three days later, The Hindenburg was destroyed by fire as it attempted its' landing at the Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, New Jersey.
