I welcome comments and emails, but please note that for various reasons I don’t like to offer an opinion on the value or authenticity of zeppelin covers or other items of airship memorabilia.

Larry,
I don’t know if you received any interest regarding your covers. I may be interested. I’m a collector in upstate New York. You can contact me @ tweixlmannjr@stny.rr.com if you still have them.

What a great website. I was searching for information on flight schedules for the U.S. Navy ships and came across it. As a dealer for many years in this material, it’s wonderful to see someone publish this information on the internet. Thanks so much Dan. It would be great to see an expansion of the site to include all known covers of these various airships. It might take you the rest of your life but what a great resource it would be. David, I have the covers you are looking for.
Doug
