Just thought I share some pics (snapshots) from a nice documentation. It was the flight of the Graf Zeppelin around the world. On board of the cigare were some of the most famous journalists of that era. One of them was Lady Grace Drummond Hay, the first woman flying around the whole world. The documentation was about her but it used many interesting film parts of a camera team aboard.

I made many and will upload them little by little.
Here comes the first part of them. You can click to enlarge them, but the quality is not as good as if it was made with modern film equipment:

Thats one thing I would give any thing to go back in time and do! People think I am crazy for that, they only think of the Hindenburg , then I explain that the Graff Zeppelin died in bed!
