1929 World Tour

This is a fascinating and even riveting documentary which uses the original letters of a journalist passenger. The airship even “crashed” and went missing for two days, but they were able to repair it and complete their journey.

Lots of candid footage to really give a true atmosphere of life at the time.

There is a longer version which appears to be from the same material. I’m not sure what the differences are, it may simply be a longer cut version.
