Graf Zeppelin II in Color
Along with the Hindenburg, which was photographed in construction and flight in 1936 and its burning wreckage in 1937, the Graf Zeppelin II is the only zeppelin that has been photographed in color. The archives of the Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen also has a yearbook featuring color photographs of both airships taken by Captain Hans von Schiller, and many other color photographs of the airship also exist. The LZ 130 is the only Zeppelin that has ever been filmed in color. Color footage was shot by Harold G. Dick of the ship over Friedrichshafen. A 2001 documentary, Hindenburg Disaster: Probable Cause showed the footage but it was mistaken for color footage of the Hindenburg.
