Crashed Zeppelin LZ 8 'Deutschland II', Dusseldorf, Germany, 1911 (1933).
Crashed Zeppelin LZ 8 'Deutschland II', Dusseldorf, Germany, 1911 (1933). Attempting his first Zeppelin flight, Dr Hugo Eckener crashed 'Deutschland II' into the hangar wall after launching the airship in a strong wind. The Zeppelin suffered serious damage in the accident. Eckener went on to become a highly successful pilot of the airships and was responsible for training Zeppelin aircrew in World War I. In 1917, when the Zeppelin Company's founder, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, died, Eckener succeeded him as head of the company. A photograph from Zeppelin-Weltfahrten, Vom ersten Luftschiff 1899 bis zu den Fahrten des LZ127 Graf Zepplin 1932, Dresden, 1933.
