Its primary route was between Germany and the United States, with additional flights between Germany and South America. At the time Hindenburg was designed, there were no fixed-wing airplanes capable of flying passengers and mail between Europe and America on a regular basis. Hindenburg's first flight was in March, 1936, and the ship was destroyed by fire at Lakehurst, New Jersey on May 5, 1937. Source: www.Airships.net
