And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Men repairing airship Graf Zeppelin, in mid flight over the Atlantic (1934)
Visited the Zeppelin museum back in 1985 with family. Segments of the aluminum frames were on display, all had riveted into trusses and curved sections. Absolutely fascinating how they were built. If not for the lack of Helium, probably would still be around today as tourist cruise ships. Sad they are no longer economical to build. https://www.zeppelin-museum.de/en
