Graf Zeppelin, LZ127

The "Graf Zeppelin" LZ127 landing in Friedrichshafen 22.08.1935.

Despite the damned symbol, this shot shows the monstrous size of the airship.

 

The "Graf Zeppelin" was the most traveled airship in history. It flew over 1 million miles including the first circumnavigation of the globe via airship. From 1931 to 1937 it operated scheduled service between Germany and Brazil.

 

From a small album of an unidentified amateur photographer.
