At 800-feet long, the Hindenburg was the largest airship ever built--just slightly smaller than the Titanic! Also of a disastrous end, the zeppelin burst into flame as spectators watched it attempt to land in Lakehurst, New Jersey on May 6, 1937. In under a minute, the Hindenburg was gone, people jumping from windows to escape. However, only 62 of the 97 crew members and passengers onboard survived. The exact cause of the disaster is still unknown and remains a fascinating historical mystery perfect for this series.

This set of non-fiction books is perfect for reading with unmotivated readers. The topics are interesting, the vocabulary is defined in context and the material is rather riveting because it actually happened. I like to use them with children when I tutor.
This book was very well written and intriguing for my son. He had to come up with ten interesting facts for a class assignment, and the things he related were new and interesting to me-- and I'm an avid reader of this type of history.
The students in our school LOVE this series! (They also love the "Who Was..." series. It's so good to see kids excited about good books that teach them something worthwhile as opposed to junk. I just wish the entire series was available in hardcover.
I liked it because it told me some good facts about the "HENDENBURG".It was a nice and kinda easy to read but the good thing about it was it told a big part of world history.
I liked that there was hard words .I never had thought of a air ship disaster.If Germany made it than why we're we on them to.
Our kids love these books! Easy to read and educational.
Great books! This series is truly engaging!
Great for biographies at fourth grade
