Do you know where I could get a Zeppelin Luftpost rubber stamp? My brother keeps mentioning that he wishes he had bought one when he saw it in Germany. Thanks, MLK

One of the most interesting websites I have ever seen. I have often dreamt of going to see Friedrichshaven and look at the latest developments in lighter than air “flight”.

Thank you very much.

Did Graf Zepellin fly over Liverpool in 1936?

I was at school and only heard about it from my youngest brother who was in bed with Plumbosis Oscillans. I also heard a old teacher mention it in th ’70s when the Goodyear airship flew over Merseyside.

Correction:
Danzig didn’t belong to Germany until Germans attacked Poland in 1939.
It was known as Free City of Danzig (or Freistadt Danzig in German, or Wolne Miasto Gdansk in Polish).

Nov. 11 2009 I am 86 years old. I saw the Hindenburg around noon on May 7 1937. I was 14, it flew quite low above me in Newark, New Jersey. I will never forget the markings on both tails as long as I live. It was on its way to the naval air station at Lakehurst, N. J. to dock at the mast used by the navy for docking its air ships but Unfortunatly while docking it caught fire and burned. A terrible disaster.

Dear Dan,
I have been looking for news about Hindenburg from many years. I find your work………FANTASTIC and I hope you can help me.
As people can read on Wikipedia:
“One year to the day before it crashed, the Hindenburg departed Germany on May 6 on its first of 10 North American flights flown in 1936 and arrived in Lakehurst, New Jersey, three days later. Passengers observed that the ship was so stable (a pen or pencil reportedly could be stood on a table without falling) that some missed the takeoff and believed the ship was still on the ground.”
John Toland also he speaks about: “fountain pen stood on a table without falling”
in his book “Ships in the sky”
Do you know where they found this news? I hope you can give me the right backing.
I’m impatient to read you. Many many thanks
Giuseppe
