Magic in the air

Experience flight on the gentle giant, Hindenburg. This book brings her to life. Beautiful drawings and photos make this airship soar again. You will wish that zeppelin travel was still an option. We lost her over Lakehurst but she lives on through fine books like this for all ages.

this is a great book!

I've been looking for a book like this for my niece who has gotten bitten by the "disaster" bug ever since the movie "Titanic" came out. This is an excellent book for older children and young teens. The text really makes the whole Hindenburg tragedy come vividly to life. And the pictures are just "Wow!". I think Ken Marschall has done the illustrations for some other notable large-illustration books including ones on the Titanic, and he outdoes himself again on this book. The detail is superb. I'm highly recommending this book to my friends who are looking for Christmas gifts for their kids. I'm even going to buy a copy for my mom! :-) Books like this don't come any better.
