March
of
1936.

135
feet
around

She
was
the
largest
airship
to
ever

by
four
Mercedes
Benz
engines.
Highly

Mission
Inn owner Frank Miller and his
family were enthusiastic about
aviation. The first manned flight
occurred in 1903. This was the
same year that Frank Miller opened
the Mission Inn Hotel. His grandson,
Frank Miller Hutchings, is reported
to have been on the last successful
flight of the Zeppelin Hindenburg.
The airship crashed and burned
in New Jersey in 1937 as it was
trying to land. |
