Skill of crew aboard the Hindenburg? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airmanship

'skill' is the definition.
(airmanship is a kind of skill)

'crew aboard the hindenburg?' is the wordplay.
'crew' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before).
'aboard' indicates putting letters inside.
'the hindenburg?' becomes 'airship' (the Hindenburg is an example).
'man' put into 'airship' is 'AIRMANSHIP'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Another definition for airmanship that I've seen is " Need for pilot".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
