1928 Graf Zeppelin - First Trans-Atlantic Return Flight - U.S. to Germany

First Trans-Atlantic Return Flight - U.S. to Germany
Adolf Hitler was just beginning to make noise in Europe when this historic 1928 cover came on board Graf Zeppelin LZ-127 at Lakehurst, NJ, launching site of the first transatlantic airmail flight from the U.S. to Germany. The cachet and postmark certify the cover's arrival at its home base of Friedrichshafen, Germany. While the stamps and cover formats may vary from those shown, all flown Zeppelin postcards or envelopes will have the official cachet and cancellation used on that flight.
