...Lakehurst, idle since the Akron and Macon disasters. To permit the vast Hindenburg to fit the Lakehurst hangar, Dr. Eckener removed two ribs, thus shortened her seven feet. Even so, she is 803 ft. long, 135 ft. high, holds some 7,000,000 cu. ft. of hydrogen, has nearly twice the bulk of the old Graf Zeppelin...
