In the momentous year 1929 airship Graf Zeppelin began her round-the-world voyage from Lakehurst financed by amongst others Randolph Hearst. Nearby New York was still in the grip of the gay twenties. The flight of the Zeppelin attracted enormous attention and crowds. The first stop was in the German Friedrichshafen at the Bodensee. Next stop was Berlin.

This should have read 'Europe in the throes of WW1'.
