140: The Shadow Before the Flame with Catherine Grace Katz

The Hindenburg disaster remains one of the most iconic events in aviation history. And yet, it is surrounded by many misconceptions. Author Catherine Grace Katz chronicles the last flight of the Hindenburg in her new book, Shadow Before the Flame: The Hindenburg Disaster and the Prelude to War, and Catherine joins us to look at how the disaster ushered in the advent of breaking news in the days before World War Two.
