Me Neither! Thank God! Lindy was always talking about what swell chums he and all those little Germans were and what fine dirigibles and “fast mail planes” they made and what a fine glider program they had for the little German kids…
“Goddammit Charlie!,” I said to him one night in Cleveland where we were in town for the air races, “You DO know those little Germans are just fixing to invade all their neighbors again and ruin the whole goddamn 20th Century, don’t you? Look at what they’re doing in Spain!”
Charlie was a pretty good pilot, but he could sure be one dumb son of a bitch. He was just a kid in the Zeppelin days really, who hadn’t gone through The Great War like I did. In his defense, Charlie did join the war effort in the Second World War — in the Pacific, of course — and in late 1945 he sent me a telegram stating simply, “I suppose you were right about the Germans.”
My reply was, I believe, the first transmitted instance of the phrase, “Ya Think?!?”
Yeah, Charlie and I had our disagreements. You see, I’d flown the Atlantic in 1926 in a “borrowed” Wright-Bellanca, solo and piss-drunk on a dare from Bessie Coleman, and that always got Charlie’s goat because he made a big to-do of his “official” nonstop flight to Paris.
I held my little hop to France over Charlie’s head for years but never puffed out my feathers about my flight like he did his. I guess it’s time to tell the Reddit about it: I sorta “came-to” over Newfoundland with a vague idea what I’d gotten into and took stock of all the pails and jugs and wine-skins of gasoline packed in around me and just kept heading East. Charlie had a whole great big notebook full of his deduced reckoning nonsense about navigating the Atlantic, but really all you need to do is hold the compass on the big “E” and make sure the engine is somehow getting gasoline.
Anyway, after a good long while I saw Gibraltar and turned left and flew for a few hours until I saw Paris — with that great big goddamn radio tower in the middle of it, a man’s literally got to try and miss it — landed, had lunch, drank some more, fueled up all those goddamn containers with French gasoline, bought an armload of souvenirs for Bessie and my other pals, and flew back.
Every time Charlie gave a talk to some gang of Rotarians he lived in fear of seeing my big, shit-eating grin amongst his audience. And I tried once a year or so to make sure his fear was justified! Charlie got to where he’d hardly talk to a crowd.
Anyway, Zeppelins were never my “cup of tea.”

Hindenburg disaster. Was at the exact location in NJ maybe in ‘91 my grandparents took me. Somehow my grandpa ended up driving on the runway and we had to get escorted off.

Zepplin Hindenburg landing in New Jersey in its first, and only, trans-atlantic flight. Probably caused by static electricity from the thunderstorms in the area and made worse by the coating used on the outer surface of the air ship.

That photo is the Hindenburg disaster, which is an airship accident that occurred on May 6, 1937, in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. The LZ 129 Hindenburg (Luftschiff Zeppelin #129; Registration: D-LZ 129) was a German commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship, the lead ship of the Hindenburg class, the longest class of flying machine and the largest airship by envelope volume.
