Description: Catalog: 382D, 589Date: 1937-05-06Franking: MiF (Mischfrankatur / Mixed franking of different stamp issues)Our Item#: 1110151936 Olympics promotional postal card flown aboard the Graf Zeppelin LZ127 airship's 1937 2nd Suedamerikafahrt (SAF) / South America Flight on what turned out to be the last leg of the last of the last commercial Zeppelin passenger flight of the pre-War era. This was used on-board, with Bordpost cancel from the day the Hindenburg met its fate. According to Michel, May 6 is also the known last day of Graf mail, though the flight didn't end until May 8 (which, BTW, must have been quite worrisome for the passengers. Like being on an airplane on 9-11). Slightly worn, excellent condition. '17 CV EUR250+ The only way to get a May 6 flown Zeppelin without paying several thousand Euro. This is from the estate of the nephew of Oberingenieur Karl Beuerle, a lead mechanic on the Zeppelin. A long-time airman, having survived serving in various WWI Zeppelin airships, he was with the Graf from the start (we have several pioneer usages as well!). We were lucky enough to purchase the entire Zeppelin collection of the nephew, who took all of "Onkel Karl's" correspondence and added to it with many further flights (such as this one).
