A very rare image of the Hindenburg in 1937! There are a few other photographs of the ship as such, but I don't know if the were really taken on May 3 1937 or one of the earlier flights that year. It can't be the first flight on March 11, because a 3-bladed propeller was installed on the aft port engine and it has been swapped out in this image.

Thanks for the link. It looks as though we can narrow the date range for when the picture was taken, based on information in the Wikipedia article. We adjust the description at our end.

Really difficult to determine whether this is LZ 129 or LZ 130, I don't see any spots on the engine car scaffold so I'm going with LZ 130, and the next image is defintely LZ 130.
