Zeppelins round the world flight in 1929
In the momentous year 1929 airship Graf Zeppelin began her roundtheworld voyage from Lakehurst financed by amongst others Randolph Hearst. Nearby New York was still in the grip of the gay twenties. The flight of the Zeppelin attracted enormous attention and crowds. The first stop was in the German Friedrichshafen at the Bodensee. Next stop was Berlin. See separate clip From the film Farewell by Ditteke Mensink, research Gerard Nijssen; produced by Pieter van Huystee. A mistake has been made in one title: Europe in throws of WWII. This should have read WW1.
