Zeppelin

A zeppelin is a type of rigid airship, using lighter-than-air gases. Originally pioneered by the German Count von Zeppelin in the late 1800s, zeppelins entered service as the first commercial airlines prior to World War I. Civilian zeppelins became more popular in the 1920s and the 1930s, including transatlantic passenger travel.

Indiana Jones encountered and rode on several zeppelins during his adventures, including:
 * an unnamed Japanese zeppelin, used to move a frozen dragon from Nepal to Japan in 1936.
 * D-138, a commercial zeppelin operated by Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei, which also operated the Hindenburg. Using aliases, Jones and his father took a flight from Berlin to Athens in 1938, but ended up stealing a German biplane to continue their journey.
 * Odin, a double-hulled Nazi military zeppelin commanded by Magnus Völler in his search for the Staff of Kings in 1939.
