[edit] Zeppelin mail

Cover sent by Zeppelin from Chemnitz, Germany to Sausalito, California on the first North American flight of the LZ 129 Hindenburg, 6-9 May 1936. The "Nach Nord Amerika" and red circular marking were applied by the post office; the latter marking includes a small "d" indicating it was applied at Frankfurt am Main. The postage stamps were issued specially for this trip, and one of them has a piece of the sheet margin bearing a postal control marking still attached. A handstamped indicating the return address of the sender, Kurt Krippner, and a New York City receiving mark dated 9 May are on the reverse.
