Charteris and the Hindenburg
For anyone who gets the Weather Channel (of all things): you can catch a tiny glimpse of our favorite globe-trotting crime writer this week.
Their series "When Weather Changed History" is rerunning an episode on the crash of the Hindenburg. About seven minutes into it, they show some newsreel clips of passengers talking about the zeppelin's maiden voyage--and one of them is Leslie Charteris, monocle and all. :) It's only a couple of seconds long, but it's quite fascinating to see and also hear the genius behind the Saint.
The episode will air a couple of times a night through Saturday.
