The Cultural Literacy Challenge No. 2

Back on June 19th, I posed the first Cultural Literacy Challenge. If you missed that particular post, you might want to revisit that post and see if you can answer the question I posed there. If you have already come up with your own answer, you can check it against the answer to Challenge 1 at the end of this post.

Identify the following:

This aircraft was one of the largest passenger aircraft ever built, prior to the jumbo jets. It was built in Germany in the 1930's and was a lighter-than-air type of aircraft. This aircraft carried passengers from Europe to South America and to the United States, in unparalleled comfort. The swastika was painted on this aircraft. A spectacular disasterous fire destroyed this aircraft as it prepared to dock in Lakehurst, N. J. What is the name of the aircraft?

Answer to Cultural Literacy Challenge No. 1: Charlie Chaplin
