Indiana Jones Wiki

D-LZ 127 was a large German military zeppelin sent to recover artifacts from South America. It had multiple anti-aircraft weapons and was capable of hauling heavy cargo. It was commanded by a Major.

History[]

Around 1939, Indiana Jones and his father, while on a mission to recover artifacts from the Nazis came across the D-LZ 127 trying to take a huge golden idol into its hull. Indy and his father worked together to destroy the zeppelin by shooting explosives it was hauling in from the temple. After a fierce battle, Indy and his father were able to destroy the zeppelin and prevent the Nazis from using the gold to fund their war effort.

Behind the scenes[]

Historically, the number LZ 127 belonged to a real zeppelin which did make flights to Brazil during its final years of service. However, unlike Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, it was a commercial passenger-carrying airship that never saw military service and was retired in 1937 and scrapped in 1940.
