Airship and Aviation Collectibles 1967 German Commemorative Cover for Ferdinand Graf Zeppelin, Signed by 3 Former Crew Members This 1967 German cover commemorates Ferdinand Graf Zeppelin. It is post marked for Friedrichshafen on 8/3/67 The cover is made more notable by bearing the signatures of three former German airship crew members. Hans von Schiller , one of the German officers close to Eckener, was on board the LZ-126/ZR-3 Los Angeles delivery flight in October 1924. He was also an officer aboard Graf Zeppelin (LZ-127) on most of its flights and, in 1937, skipper of the Graf. Heinrich Bauer , one of Eckener's airship officers, was elevatorman on the round-the-world flight of Graf Zeppelin and also on Graf's Arctic flight in 1931. He was Second Officer and a survivor of the Hindenburg's final flight. Bauer was also a skipper of the Hindenburg's sister ship, LZ-130 (Graf Zeppelin II). Oskar Rosch was a mechanic on the Graf Zeppelin. The cover is in overall clean condition but does have some gentle creasing across the lower left and right quadrants (see image) Nevertheless an interesting collectable with three signatures of individuls who played a role in the history of German lighter than air craft. A note about the signatures on our items: Most of the signatures on the items we sell were collected in person by the current owner. As a researcher and writer he had the opportunity to meet and interview many individuals who played a role in the history of American and German lighter than air craft and also in the field of arctic exploration.
