Fourteen-year-old Werner Franz was a cabin boy aboard the ill-fated airship on its doomed flight to the U.S. His incredible story of survival is told here in vivid detail. The text includes a brief history of the Hindenburg before launching into Franz's tale. Painterly full-page illustrations provide a gripping visual backdrop to the text. Information about the disaster's aftermath is appended.
