Summary
This is a thorough first person account of zeppelins, their history and flights. This book was being translated by Leonhard Adelt, who was on board with Lehmann as a guest during the Hindenburg's last flight. The book had recently been published in German when the Hindenburg was destroyed. The English translation, completed by Jay Dratler, was published in 1937 with a preface and closing chapter by American airship captain Charles E. Rosendahl, who had interviewed Lehman on his deathbed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_A._Lehmann
