Speaking of zeppelins, the original Graf was featured in at least one Leica 
ad,
in "Photo Era Magazine", 1930, mentioning various flights and expeditions 
that
chose Leica cameras. This one is reprinted on page 18 of the book "Leica 
Ads".

I think I've seen a photo of Dr. Eckener with a Leica, and if I'm remembering
wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if he had one.

Zeppelin fan.
