The Frontiers of Flight Museum will host the third installment of its Caroline Rose Hunt Lecture Series on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 5:30 p.m., featuring writer and historian Catherine Grace Katz.
Katz will discuss her latest book, Shadow Before the Flame: The Hindenburg Disaster and the Prelude to War, exploring the people aboard the famed airship, its place in aviation history, German government propaganda and the rise of modern breaking news. The book will be available to purchase in the museum store. The lecture provides a timely complement to the museum’s current exhibit, “Hindenburg: The Flying Hotel,” offering additional historical context surrounding one of aviation’s most infamous events. A Q&A with Katz and Frontiers of Flight Museum President and CEO Abigail Erickson-Torres will follow the presentation.
The Caroline Rose Hunt Lecture Series brings aviators, astronauts, innovators and aerospace leaders together to share their experiences and vision for the future, inspiring the next generation of aviators, engineers and explorers while highlighting Dallas’ role in aerospace.
Tickets to the event are $45 and can be purchased at Caroline Rose Hunt Lecture Series - Frontiers of Flight Museum. Museum members will receive 10% off their purchase. Proceeds support aerospace education programs serving underserved communities across North Texas.
