	Inventor Ferdinand von Zeppelin Biography
		Ferdinand von Zeppelin was the inventor of the rigid drigible or airship balloon.
		Zeppelin went to the United States in 1863 to work as a military observer for the Union army in the American Civil War and later explored the headwaters of the Mississippi River, making his first balloon flight while he was in Minnesota.
		Zeppelins were making routine commercial mail and passenger flights over Germany, with a remarkable safety record despite the risks in using highly flammable hydrogen gas to inflate the airships.

		Prodded by Raeder, Hitler ordered Göring to produce aircraft for the carrier and under this pressure, the air marshal offered redesigned versions of the Junkers Ju 87B and the Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3, which were at that time being phased out of the Luftwaffe first-line squadrons.

		The real Graf Zeppelin (19,000 tons standard) was launched with much fanfare in 1938, heralding a potential new era of the Kriegsmarine that included an air component to bring it up to the standards of the world's air-minded navies.
		In a "warm-up" battle in the South Pacific with the Rengo Kantai (Combined Fleet), the Graf Zeppelin was exposed to the dazzling circus of a multi-carrier task force's attacks and defense.
		Too late to stop the invasion or to prevent the airfields from being used by the Americans, the Fleet was decimated by the onslaught of American airpower, and Graf Zeppelin succumbed to successful attacks by US Marine dive bombers despite the furious fighter defense put up by her Heinkels.

		The Graf Zeppelin safely handled 13,000 passengers and 76,000 tons of mail and cargo, traveling over a million miles on 650 flights across continents and oceans, before retirement and dismantling in 1940.
