What route did the Hindenburg take when traveling from Germany to the U.S.?
Upvote:16
Airships.net has a page which documents the flights of the Hindenburg. It includes dates, departures, and arrivals and has maps showing the eastbound and westbound flight-paths taken:

I assume the numbers on the charts represent the 10 flights to/from Lakehurst in 1936. The fourth flight of 1936 (June 30 - July 2) was actually the fastest crossing of the year (52 hrs 49 min).
If that chart really is the 10 transatlantic crossings by the Hindenburg in 1936, then interestingly, and perhaps surprisingly, the flight at the highest latitudes was also the fastest. I'm guessing that the weather must have cooperated on that occasion. Unfortunately, the closest weather map I've been able to find was dated 15 June 1936, some two weeks before the flight.
Times taken by flights on the eastbound route, from Lakehurst to Frankfurt, were generally faster, as you would expect.
