LZ-130 Graf Zeppelin II Covers

First flight covers and other postal history of the LZ-130 Graf Zeppelin II.  Graf Zeppelin II conducted spying missions and propaganda flights, but never carried paying passengers since the Germans were unable to obtain helium, and inflated the ship with hydrogen.

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.
