I'd have to agree. But not a movie I've ever seen or heard of.

My initial thought was that it was fake because the flags on the stabilizers didn't look right. Among a couple of things, the swastikas are too small in the white circles. Compare with what's on Hindenburg. And the tressels?! Never seen such a thing. I suppose the LIFE logo was what made it seem credible.

I'll have to post this at the movie forum at airshipmodeler.com - if it was used in a movie, somebody there will know about it.

Thanks for the replies
Cheers
