About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Zeppelin's had engines too, how else would they get anywhere? I'm sure you could hear them as well, since they would have 4 to 6 engines for thrust to move

Planes make a noise, you know they're there, and they're never there long... these things though, just hanging silently over head... Yeah. I gotta agree with the ominous description.
