When the Hindenberg went down my Father in-law was at the Navy base working and he brought home a peice of it . It is the silver outside with string on it also it looks like blood stains on it and burn marks I was wondering if this is worth anything.

I was a radio-radarman with ZP-1 at Santa Anna CA when we were moved to Weeksville, N.C. I was a crewman in K-ships 1947-8. In the fall of 1947 our ships were forced to ride out a hurricane because the hangers were filled with aircraft! We refueled at Glynco,GA in high winds with engines running, then got as far as Key West without landing before returning to Weeksville as winds allowed. Quite an experience for three days! I am pleased to find this site just last week!

Thank you for this. This subject is one of incredible pride in my family. My family has very rich military history and the accounts of the hero's on that day told by my uncle John is a memory that I will re-tell to my children.

We used to visit my Grandmother who lived in Lakehurst. One of the most thrilling sights I remember was swimming in Lake Horicon and seeing the beautiful airships fly over at low altitude. The hum of the engines and the massive airship moving slowly against the backdrop clear blue sky is a thing of beauty. I would love to see that again!
