The airships of the 1920s and 1930s – the largest capable of crossing the Atlantic on regular routes, each with more than 70 beds – were seen as symbols of modernity and progress with their gigantic aluminium skeletons, comfortable passenger cabins and exclusive restaurants, all made possible by the most talented engineers of the time.
