This airship USS Los Angeles (ZR-3) was given to the United States by the German Government as war reparations from World War I.
Detailed Manhattan background in this photo contributes nicely to this image.

  • Support. I figured that a German Zeppelin should really be the featured picture in this subject area, but couldn't find a free picture that was better than this one (you would figure there was a good size scan of the Hindenburg disaster) and in any case it turns out the ZR-3 is a renamed German Zeppelin. -- Solipsist 22:49, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Support BUT I support the picture of the USS Akron which I just posted even more. The Akron is a much more historically popular airship, and I like the face that you can see the entire island underneath of it. --ScottyBoy900Q 00:16, 06 Dec 2004 (UTC)
