NEW GERMAN AIRSHIP NEARING COMPLETION

The new German zeppelin LZ-129, now under construction at Friedrichshafen, Germany, will shortly go into operation on the South Atlantic “run” from Europe to South America.

Only slightly longer than the U.S. Navy airship Macon, the LZ-129 will, however, be the world’s largest airship, for it will be buoyed up by over 7 million cubic feet of hydrogen gas.
