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.
