The German-made zeppelin ZR-3 skims the tops of skyscrapers above foggy Manhattan on its way to Lakehurst, N.J., October 19, 1924. It had just flown across the Atlantic, logging 4,229 nautical miles. The Metropolitan Life Building can be seen below.
The Times reported on the scene in Lakehurst the next day: "So great was the motor traffic that numerous tie-ups developed and thousands of visitors did not reach their homes until well after midnight."
The transatlantic flight was considered an aviation triumph, and its captain and crew were given a parade up Broadway and greeted at the White House. The Atlantic would not be crossed nonstop by air again until Lindbergh's flight in May 1927.

I never get bored of seeing the sheer humongous scale of airships like this that flew nearly one hundred years ago.
