The airship LZ-129 Hindenburg was used for passenger, mail, and freight transportation, mainly between Germany and the United States, with additional flights between Germany and South America. Hindenburg was the fastest way for passengers and mail to cross the Atlantic at the time; the airship crossed the ocean in 2-1/2 days, as compared to the 5 days required by the fastest transatlantic ocean liners.
Although designed for passenger and mail transportation, the Hindenburg was also sometimes used as a Propaganda tool by the government of Nazi Germany. For example, one of the ship's first flights was a propaganda flight in support of the March 29, 1936 referendum on the remilitarization of the Rhineland, and the ship made politically-motivated appearances above the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games and the 1936 Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg.

the Hindenburg was supposed to carry passengers and mail across the Atlantic but the terrible tragedy at Lakeland, N.J. put that idea on the shelf.
I believe that the Hindenburg's sister ship was the LZ-130 Graf Zeppelin
The gas was Hydrogen.

The German Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg, exploded in midair as she was mooring at Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey, on May 6, 1937.The Hindenburg was a passenger liner, but unlike today's airships, she carried volatile hydrogen gas instead of helium for her lifting capability. There is a long-held theory that she was the victim of an onboard bomb rather than just an accident.
The Hindenburg disaster was the crash of a German zeppelin in 1937 CE. It launched the news industry and ended air travel for several years.

they are alike because they both fly in the air
Because it is incredibly flammable. Look up "Hindenburg".

Any Gas with a lower density than 1.2kg/m^3 will make a balloon rise. However I think you are talking about helium. Gases that are lighter than air like Hydrogen etc Helium Is the lighter than air gas that is used to fill party balloon's it is an inert gas, that is it doesn't burn unlike Hydrogen which is the gas that was used in the Hindenburg air ship.
