pickI always wondered about airships..especially what it looked like inside. (Google will show you that) Lawson tells its story with a villain and heroes, up to the moment of explosion. (The luxury of a diner and a smoking room on board seemed unwise and hapless even for the late 1930s.)

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved this book about the final flight of the Hindenburg. Even though we know how the story ends, Lawhon manages to ramp up the tension while setting up a possible theory for how and why it happened.
Turned out to be more nightmare than #Dream. Fascinating discussion with Ariel when it first came out. She's charming and so deep into her research. #Signed. Looking forward to her newest, The Frozen River, for #NewYearNewBooks @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickThis book gives a whole lot of flight history and information starting with hot air balloons up to aircraft. Truly informative.
First meal and set of family is done. My daughter and I exchange books and chocolate on Christmas Eve. This year my daughter‘s boyfriend joined us. I‘m super happy about the books but I‘m over the moon about the bookmark he made me. I know my fellow #Pemberlittens will understand. It also has a lovely P & P charm which I managed to cover up. I think he‘s a keeper…hope the daughter does, too.

Prompt: DISASTER
Tells of the three-day flight of the Hindenburg and its fire on the third day as it neared its landing spot of Lakehurst, New Jersey.
FLIGHT OF DREAMS is a well-researched and cleverly carried out book about the Hindenburg that will hold your interest.
What a wonderful way to learn more about this historical event. 5/5

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yay I finally got a bingo for #bookspinbingo !! This was book No. 10 on my list. This one started off slowly and I wasn‘t sure I was going to like it. But then about a quarter of the way in everyone‘s motives start to form and the story becomes a page turner. This is a fictional account about the people on the Hindenburg flight to NJ before it exploded. There‘s espionage and romance and the Gestapo. I recommend for a different WWII story
