I remember my late Mother telling me about her seeing the Graf Zeppelin fly overhead when she was a child in New York City at the age of 10 years old and what an incredible sight it was to see it flying up above in the sky!!❤️
@@Boonexctf Yeah except the airship wasn't at all experimental at that point. Germany had over a hundered of them in WW1, a decade before the Graf Zeppelin was even built. On the other hand the Wright brothers fought tooth and nail to keep their airplane technology a secret. We can't imagine what they could have had at the start of WW1 if the Wrights had shared their discoveries at the start.
WOW, that 3:27 moment when Zepellin bursts through that smoke-curtain is probably the most beautiful thing I have seen on UA-cam! Like a bullet piecing a wave in super-slow motion. If that was the shot that CRAZY photographer risked his life for then I say BRAVO sir, it was worth it! 🏆
I recently acquired a US airmail issue stamp that was made exclusively to help fund the graf zeppelin company and was carried aboard her. bits and pieces still remain...
Graf Z...the most succesful, long-lived dirigible. While others dropped out of the sky, Graf droned on and on! ( flew nearly 600 flights, many Atlantic crossings, scrapped in 1940)...the Daddy of them all!
@@Yetipfote Not nazi though considering that the dude that keeps making those zeppelin rejected Goebells' proposal of naming one of his zeppelin as Hitler and instead named it as Hindenburg (an actual bad move cause it would be funny to read in history books that a zeppelin named hitler is known for being a disaster)
A wonderful golden age of airships.Brilliant men putting great things together..... History channel had a lot of older programs about airships. Bought several on vhs....way back. Great stuff !
What a great vid! That, and the cameraman on the skyscraper having issues lugging his cam and indubitably enlarged 'testicular fortitude' around the iron, then stops for a smoke. Helluva time!
Back in these times, things went like that. - Honey, I shave my beard I'm going to war today - Sure honey, if you survive, take some milk on the way back - Will do ! Cya !
Thank you! You have captured the essence of what may have been the last truly glorious moment in history. That was a moment (in New York, at least) of unbounded and unqualified optimism. Two months later, however, the world changed.
The fake prosperity economic bubble burst, stock market crash and world-wide long-term repercussions. Our current prosperity is also fake, national debt etc, maybe I'm wrong, i hope I'm wrong.
They were giddy with excitement which was to fade in short order. Many clips of the great depression show the somber side. My parents showed the effects of the time well into the '50s and '60s.
@@mtlicq Yes, when these pictures were taken, the world was still in order, but then came 2 month later the disaster. in addition to the Treaty of Versailles, World War II was also a consequence of the global economic crisis. If this had not happened in 1929, there would have been no Nazi dictatorship and no later World War II. The global economic crisis caused unemployment, hunger and poverty in Germany. Unfortunately, three years later the people voted for a radical party who promised to save them out of this disaster. It actually worked 5 years, but in the 6th year the second disaster followed, which no one could stop.
Its only a zeppelin, right? Throwing a whole parade just for a zeppelin? But when was the last time you saw one this big? In 1929 This was a symbol of achievement and gliding through nyc skyline anyone could relater to victory and triumphs of man over the elements of nature.
Clinton Pendleton No! The LZ-129 Hindenburg was and still is the largest man made object ever to fly. At 804.8' long it was slightly shorter than the Titanic. The LZ-127 Graf Zeppelin was 776' long but both Zeppelins were rather large. The last one to fly was the LZ-130 Graf Zeppelin II at 803' she was only a foot shorter than the Hindenburg.
This is from the film: "Farewell" from director Gerard Nijssen from the Netherlands. It's all footage from the 1920's-1930's. It's an amazing film. It mixes films of different things to gether, like it shows the Graff Zepelin & the Hindenburg next to each other (the Hindenburg was finished in 1936, it wasn't even a concept in 1929). The image from 3:24-3:38 is actually the USS Los Angeles in 1927 performing a combat drill and and going through a smoke screen. fascinating stuff nevertheless!
i wish people today would get so enthusiastic about technical acheivments as they did in the first half of the 20th century. All the grandeur, the enthusiasm, its amazing. Our society is sadly caught up in petty interests. There's the world's most advanced rover on Mars at the moment, but all anyone cares about is the next iGarbage-phone. I wish I could have lived through a time of such passion and excitement over worldly matters.
footincanuck I am afraid I am the last middle school student who seems to have a love for engineering. Everyone else waiting for the next Iplastic while I am running my small steam engines. So sad such a hobby ever left.
What I like most about watching old videos is the people's attitude towards each other and life in general, they all looked so happy. Fly one of these things anywhere today not many would raise their gaze as from their phones
1929. The Market is racing, the Roaring 20s are on. Lindy has flown the Atlantic, now the Zeppelin offers crossings by air to passengers. It comes from Weimar Germany, and the hope of lasting peace is in the air. Everything is possible.
It makes me incredibly sad that I will never see, let alone travel in one of these. All the projects aiming at reviving the airship as a mode of transportation are ugly (look up SkyCat) but Zeppelins in their golden age, especially the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin, were and still are in my opinion the most beautiful things mankind has ever crafted. It's not Concorde, the Golden Gate, Notre-Dame or the Pyramids, it's the Graf Zeppelin.
Seven years ago... who could then think that thousands of passenger jets will never fly again? That my generation will not fly again, ever, and even something like trying out a pair of shoes in a store will be unthinkable - because shoe stores are closed forever? Welcome to corona age.
You can go to Friedrichshafen and fly one, it looks modern but still pretty stylish, plus the view is incredible over the Bodensee, with the mountains in the distance.
One correction the airship flying through the smoke screen is NOT the Graf Zeppelin in New York, it is in fact the USS Los Angeles flying over Washington D.C. You can faintly see the Washington Monument in the top left corner and the extended version of that clip has the US Capitol dome clearly visible. Also the Airship in question you can faintly see the US roundel on the rear third of the ship just above its shaded bottom and infront of the fins. The Graf Zeppelin had no such marking in that area. Likewise the marks on the fins themselves belong to the USS Lost Angeles.
What a gem of a little movie and wonderful to see people enthralled by the zeppelin. I especially liked the the photographer in tweed suit setting up camera on the i-beams and lighting a cigarette without a worry-classy. However, I could not for the life of me, figure out what the thumbnail image was. (3:23) But watching it unfold in _moving pictures_ answered the mystery. Thanks for uploading and sharing.
A machine so beautiful and destructive. It makes me tear up from the pure sight of it alone. Flying over the city like an angel; bringing joy to those who look upon it's almighty presence. If only it didn't die. Maybe, we could of had one over our city today and Maybe, just maybe, we could bring it back.
It was 2-1/2 football fields long, and it floated in the air. You can see why people went nuts over the sight of this thing as it sailed over Manhattan's skyscrapers. People would do the same today!
Thank you so much for some glorious footage. The lady mentions Hubert Wilkins (the one with the beard) 5.50 George Hubert Wilkins was SO MUCH more than an explorer. He was Knighted twice, once by the English and then by the Italians. He was the first man to take movie footage of warfare from an aeroplane ( by lying on the fuselage of a single seater). He supplied Kingsford-Smith with the Southern Cross, the first aeroplane to fly across the Pacific Ocean. He was was called ' the bravest man in my army" by Monash after the First World War. He probably discovered more land mass than any other man. He was the first man to try to take a submarine to the north pole. He was regarded by both the Inuit and the Australian First peoples as a superior human being. When Knighted by King George he asked not to be called Sir George because he would not presume to use the Kings name. He was knighted as Sir Hubert Wilkins Read ' The Last Explorer' by Simon Nasht
The photographer on the building?? I thought at first he is Buster Keaton or someone doing some funny movements, but he really is just doing his job!? wow!
Look at some of the archival photos of the Empire State Building's ironworkers as they raised the building's steel frame, and you'll see photographers in suits and street shoes, toting big cameras on wooden tripods out to the ends of the girders. Commonplace enough in the 1920s and 1930s.
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, time! :D Zeppelins rule, man. Whether it's the musical ones or the ones in the sky.
Foi uma viagem magnífica !!!! Pena que hoje em dia, não acontecem mais coisas assim. Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal..... Abraço do Brasil......
What a spectacle it must've been: The city of New York brought to a standstill by a globetrotting airship! The 20's were a wild time. Thank you for uploading this jewel!
Very, very fortunate and happy kid at 5:30, who probably only had to put his/her hands up in the air to be pulled into one of the most famous & awesome cabins/cockpits in history! Wow.
yes, its real footage. there is a 1.5 hr full day to day original documentary with the zeppelin crossing atlantic, europe, russia, japan, pacific and usa.
I have watched several vids on aviation and other sources, very interesting to see the progression of aircrraft. Airships were competition for liners, main form of overseas transportation until mid century
Was muss das für eine wunderbare sschöne Zeit gewesen sein. Die Hilfsbereitschaft und Freundschaft um das Luftschiff richtig landen zu lassen. Das macht Freude, dass anzusehen.
Awesome video! I would have loved to have flown on the Graf while enjoying excellent champagne and caviar in the main lounge! I've read accounts that it was a fantastic experience. The only uncomfortable aspect of travel on the Graf Zeppelin was the cold. You would have to bundle up as there was no heating.
Airships are making a comeback in niche applications such as cargo hauling and surveillance, which they are very highly suited to. Sadly, it will be a long time before something as glamorous as this was comes along again, but rest assured that when it does, it will exceed your wildest expectations. Sheer luxury, serene beauty.
I remember seeing the Goodyear Blimp go over my house once, it skimmed over the treetops and blocked out the sun briefly as it swung around. The thing was huge, but then I remembered it's actually tiny compared to the airships of old like the Graf, Hindenburg, USS Macon, etc. So I can totally believe it that people would stop in their tracks and be wowed watching these ocean-liner sized craft flying over.
The photographer in slick street shoes with an awkward camera /tripod up around 300 ft no frikkin' harness' on raw steel...sets up his gear and fires up a dart! Glorious!
A couple pieces of LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin still survive. There's at least one piece of outer fabric preserved (1" x 1" square) and one of the gondola engine cars is preserved in the Zeppelin Museum in Germany. That gondola car is probably the largest remnant of the Graf Zeppelin. The rest of it is long gone, recycled into metal used in German aircraft that fought in World War II. The scrapping of the Graf's metal frame was done in 1990. Bits and pieces of Hindenburg wreckage acquired by "souvenir collectors" and the official inquiry also survive. The Hindenburg model used in the 1975 Hindenburg feature film is in the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC (I've seen it). The replica control car created for that movie is preserved in the hangar at Lakehurst, NJ that was used to house the real Hindenburg. The only flown airship control cars (not replicas) that survive are from American blimps. The zeppelin control cars were destroyed. There is a partial reconstruction (half?) of the Hindenburg's internal living area including the viewing windows and passenger compartments. This is NOT the control car but part of the internal area of the airship. The Graf Zeppelin (LZ 127, not Hindenburg's virtual identical twin sister LZ 130) was different. All the living areas AND the control car were located in the same large gondola that hung OUTSIDE the gasbag. The Hindenburg's control car was much smaller since the living/passenger area was all inside the gasbag.
In fact, the inherent problem with lighter-than-air aircraft is that in heavy winds they tend to be highly unstable. Perhaps nowadays, using modern jets or turboprops you could create a highly controllable zeppelin, but still, they're more like sailing ships in they characteristics, with an added dimension of altitude. Still, there's work being done on zeppelins (rigid airships) and blimps, and maybe someday we'll have the luxury liner in the sky again.
They hesitate to step off the Zeppelin. After such an incredible experience they don't want it to end. The moment they step on land it's over and they know it.
A wonderful time to live in the Western world. Progress, identity, friendship, trust, morality, science, courage, devotion, romance, security, hope, and true love. Not perfect of course less I be labeled a dreamer or worse, but we live in an ante-world -- a Bizzaro World now where we have the opposite kind of place. It was all downhill in fits and starts from about 1929.
@paqman67 Gerard does a great job for many years in researching suitable vintage film material. I was amazed by the clarity of the old film material. He visited me after it was shown on Dutch TV with subtitles whereas mine is without.
Just imagine, just 40 years later a group of 4 youthful Brits with long hair and amplified electric musical instruments would be playing before thousands of high-on-marijuana-adoring fans under the same "Zeppelin" banner.
But that doesn't mean that they can't improve the overall design and the susceptibility to weather while keeping the look of the zeppelin like they were in the 20th century

You have to admit it must have been absolute cutting edge technology in 1929.

They had heating on the Hindenburg but only at the last few minutes of its last trip ever.
@@chrispoleson6118 OUCH!
Airships are making a comeback in niche applications such as cargo hauling and surveillance, which they are very highly suited to. Sadly, it will be a long time before something as glamorous as this was comes along again, but rest assured that when it does, it will exceed your wildest expectations. Sheer luxury, serene beauty.
China read your comment and recently responded!
incredible footage!
What a time to be alive
we have come a long way baby.....since then.. look how many now travel the skies every where.....wow
The last mintute of this video makes me want to get in a time machine and spend some time in 1929,
There is a song in Bulgarian about the Zeppelin flaying over the country. Amazing footage!
I remember seeing the Goodyear Blimp go over my house once, it skimmed over the treetops and blocked out the sun briefly as it swung around.
The thing was huge, but then I remembered it's actually tiny compared to the airships of old like the Graf, Hindenburg, USS Macon, etc. So I can totally believe it that people would stop in their tracks and be wowed watching these ocean-liner sized craft flying over.
😱fuck 😬 the cameraman just stands as if he is going to record video on the backyard. 🤪
The photographer in slick street shoes with an awkward camera /tripod up around 300 ft no frikkin' harness' on raw steel...sets up his gear and fires up a dart! Glorious!
People seemed to be much simpler and happier than today.
A couple pieces of LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin still survive. There's at least one piece of outer fabric preserved (1" x 1" square) and one of the gondola engine cars is preserved in the Zeppelin Museum in Germany. That gondola car is probably the largest remnant of the Graf Zeppelin. The rest of it is long gone, recycled into metal used in German aircraft that fought in World War II. The scrapping of the Graf's metal frame was done in 1990.
Bits and pieces of Hindenburg wreckage acquired by "souvenir collectors" and the official inquiry also survive. The Hindenburg model used in the 1975 Hindenburg feature film is in the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC (I've seen it). The replica control car created for that movie is preserved in the hangar at Lakehurst, NJ that was used to house the real Hindenburg.
The only flown airship control cars (not replicas) that survive are from American blimps. The zeppelin control cars were destroyed.
There is a partial reconstruction (half?) of the Hindenburg's internal living area including the viewing windows and passenger compartments. This is NOT the control car but part of the internal area of the airship.
The Graf Zeppelin (LZ 127, not Hindenburg's virtual identical twin sister LZ 130) was different. All the living areas AND the control car were located in the same large gondola that hung OUTSIDE the gasbag. The Hindenburg's control car was much smaller since the living/passenger area was all inside the gasbag.
What an exciting time!
In fact, the inherent problem with lighter-than-air aircraft is that in heavy winds they tend to be highly unstable. Perhaps nowadays, using modern jets or turboprops you could create a highly controllable zeppelin, but still, they're more like sailing ships in they characteristics, with an added dimension of altitude. Still, there's work being done on zeppelins (rigid airships) and blimps, and maybe someday we'll have the luxury liner in the sky again.
The horseride thru new york... what a time 💔
They hesitate to step off the Zeppelin. After such an incredible experience they don't want it to end. The moment they step on land it's over and they know it.
Such a grand thing, love this.
It's been gone all that time and now it just came back wow a miracle
Fascinating and crazy Machine !!
Simply done
No idea why this is in my recommendations but it was interesting
A wonderful time to live in the Western world. Progress, identity, friendship, trust, morality, science, courage, devotion, romance, security, hope, and true love. Not perfect of course less I be labeled a dreamer or worse, but we live in an ante-world -- a Bizzaro World now where we have the opposite kind of place.
It was all downhill in fits and starts from about 1929.
@paqman67 Gerard does a great job for many years in researching suitable vintage film material. I was amazed by the clarity of the old film material. He visited me after it was shown on Dutch TV with subtitles whereas mine is without.
I wish I was alive then man, looked fucking amazing.
Messy Barresi this was right before the Great Depression, I don’t think you’d wanna live through that
To me, the best way to travel ever!
Top Video 👍🙂👍 Thumbs Up!!!
Just imagine, just 40 years later a group of 4 youthful Brits with long hair and amplified electric musical instruments would be playing before thousands of high-on-marijuana-adoring fans under the same "Zeppelin" banner.
Swastikas or not, das Graf Zeppelin is a beautiful ship.
I wish people still made these kinds of airships today.
No swastikas then, this was before the nazis took power.
Come on !
It‘s 1929 !
Can you just imagine if we still used airships like this today?
But that doesn't mean that they can't improve the overall design and the susceptibility to weather while keeping the look of the zeppelin like they were in the 20th century
