	First World War.com - Who's Who - Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin
		Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (1838-1917) was born in Konstanz, Baden on 8 April 1838 and was the first large-scale builder of the rigid dirigibles which eventually became synonymous with his name.
		Zeppelin proceeded to devote the remainder of his life to the design and construction of engine-powered dirigibles.
		Eight years later 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.

	The Zeppelin
		Several zeppelins were also lost because of bad weather, and 17 were shot down because they could not climb as fast as the fighters.
		At the end of the war, the German zeppelins that had not been captured were surrendered to the Allies by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, and it looked like the Zeppelin company would soon disappear.
		Zeppelins had been accepted as a quicker and less expensive way to travel long distances than ocean liners provided.

		From the pioneer period of the German Zeppelins early in the century to the special event covers of the American airships Akron and Macon in the 1930s, there is plenty of material to collect in a variety of price categories.
		A collection of Contract Air Mail (CAM) covers records the expansion of the United States Air Mail Service, the development of heavier-than-air craft, and the practical application of airplanes to the transportation of mail - as new airmail service between cities, or to new cities, was opened until deregulation on December 1, 1978.
		Mail connecting from Milwaukee was flown on a special Sunday flight on route 9.

		It is the first passenger-carrying zeppelin in operation since the May 6, 1937, disaster of the LZ 129 Hindenburg in Lakehurst, New Jersey.
		We lived then in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, directly under one of the approach corridors of the LZ 127 (Graf Zeppelin) and the LZ 129 as they returned from their regularly scheduled flights from Lakehurst (LZ 129) and Rio de Janeiro (LZ 127) to their home port, what is now Frankfurt Rhein-Main International Airport.
		The new Zeppelin NT is quite different from the earlier zeppelins.

	Zeppelin NT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are, however, a number of notable differences between the Zeppelin NT and the dirigibles of those days, as well as between the Zeppelin NT and usual non-rigid airships known as blimps.
		During the Oktoberfest of 2002 a Zeppelin NT was used for radio experiments in connection with the European Galileo positioning system project for the German Aerospace Center and the ESA.
		On March 2, 2004 the ZLT sold a Zeppelin NT for the first time; SN 02 was acquired by the Japanese Nippon Airship Corporation and was transferred in June 2004, and was to follow the historical route of the 1929 World Tour of the famous dirigible LZ127 "Graf Zeppelin".

	Mail Call
		My assumption is that the zeppelin was mooring at Lakehurst and either made a pass over Philly en route to or from Lakehurst or made a special trip from Lakehurst and passed over the city before returning to Jersey.
		GRAF ZEPPELIN only came to the U.S. times in her 590 flights and 144 ocean crossings (first arrival, 1928, to and from Lakehurst in 1929, a 1930 "triangle flight" which included her last visit to Lakehurst and the 1933 flight which visited Akron and Chicago and headed directly Eastward without visiting Lakehurst at all.)
		The Zeppelin was capable of carrying 72 passengers and there were in fact only 36 passengers aboard on the last flight so there was plenty of room.

		Airships are ideally suited to delivering mail, passengers, and supplies to isolated outposts, where the ships can hover to transfer cargo.
		The date was 19th July, 1990, birthday of our Lord and Master, Sultan Michael, and the voyage to Sonné was intended to be the start of a happy new era of trade with the North Atlantic country.
		Severe storms buffeted the rugged zeppelin as it crossed over the Riau-Lingga Islands, and many cups and glasses were spilled on board - an almost unheard of event on a zeppelin, which is known for its perfect trim in any weather.

		Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, inventor of the concept, was a colorful, almost fanatical character who spent his entire sizeable fortune on building and promoting his immense airships, but it was Hugo Eckener, Zeppelin designer, pilot, and enthusiast, who made Zeppelins household names around the world in the 1930's.
		Mail was carried on most flights from 1908 on - indeed, the Zeppelins could not have survived, had it not been for the income they derived from carrying mail - and many stamps were issued especially for Zeppelin post, including

		The cost of mail transport by Zeppelin was rather high and the air mail tariffs at that time did not cover the charges to be made.
		On May 2, 1936 all P.O.´s were informed about the Zeppelin mail and that a special Zeppelin surcharge was to be made - 1 kroon for each 5g.

		The suggestion that Zeppelin airships might be useful for polar exploration was passed to Zeppelin from the Norwegian explorer and statesman Fridtjof Nansen who had followed closely the accounts of the Andrée and Wellman flights.
		In 1910 Count Zeppelin, Professors Hugo Hergesell and Adolf Miethe, and Crown Prince Henry of Prussia led what they termed a "study-trip" to Spitzbergen to explore the use of airships in the polar regions.
		It would be another twenty years before a Zeppelin airship was used for polar exploration and the task of realizing Zeppelin's vision would fall to his successor, Dr. Hugo Eckener.
