Description
“Zeppelin: The Story of Lighter-than-air Craft” by Ernst A. Lehmann is a captivating journey into the golden age of airships. As a Zeppelin commander during World War I, Lehmann provides firsthand accounts of bombing missions over England and interactions with prominent figures like General Erich Ludendorff. His close association with Count Zeppelin and the designers of the Zeppelin Company offers readers an intimate look into the development and operations of these majestic airships.
Beyond wartime exploits, Lehmann delves into the peacetime voyages of the Graf Zeppelin, including its famous round-the-world journey. He also discusses pioneering services to the United States and regular routes to South America. Tragically, Lehmann’s life was cut short in the Hindenburg disaster of 1937, shortly after completing the draft for this book. His narrative provides a comprehensive account of the Zeppelin story up to that fateful event.
