Early in the 1900's traveling by air still seemed inconceivable to most Americans. Air ships and balloons were just coming into their own at the time and with the new technology came a newly found fascination with flying. As an attempt to explore a new means of transport people naturally were curious about how such large machines could seem lighter than air. The link posted below shows some original photos as well as brochures for passenger travel in a zeppelin. Since ships had been around for hundreds of years prior to this there was a yearning for a new technology and a way to branch out into previously unexplored areas.
