    very interesting photo, unfortunately, this is NOT an example of a Zeppelin. Since this was taken during wartime (5/1942) , it is highly unlikely that it was manufactured by the Zeppelin company in Germany. Further, the term Zeppelin, as used generically for airships, refers only to rigid airships or dirigibles. i recommend the removal of the "Zeppelin" tag for historical accuracy.

    Neat shot - note they're both under tow, probably by the same aircraft. Check out the difference in the tow line angles.

    I had no clue the Library of Congress was on Flickr! Naturally you all have some of the BEST pictures and some of the oldest, thanks for sharing!
