First intercontinental flight (1928)

In October 1928 Graf Zeppelin made its first intercontinental trip, to Lakehurst Naval Air Station, New Jersey, US,
with Eckener in command and Lehmann as first officer.
Rosendahl and Drummond-Hay flew the outward leg.
Ludwig Dettmann and Theo Matejko made an artistic record of the flight.

On the third day of the flight, a large section of the fabric covering of the port tail fin was damaged while passing through a mid-ocean squall line,
and volunteer riggers (including Eckener's son, Knut) repaired the torn fabric.
Eckener directed Rosendahl to make a distress call; when this was received, and nothing else was heard from the airship, many believed it was lost.
After the ship arrived safely there was some annoyance from the Lakehurst personnel that it had not answered repeated calls for its position and estimated arrival time.
The 9,926 km (6,168 mi; 5,360 nmi) crossing, the longest non-stop flight at the time, had taken 111 hours 44 minutes.

Clara Adams became the first female paying passenger to fly transatlantic on the return flight.
The ship endured an overnight gale that blew it backwards in the air and 320 km (200 mi; 170 nmi) off course, to the coast of Newfoundland.
A stowaway boarded at Lakehurst and was discovered in the mail room mid-voyage.
The airship returned home and on 6 November flew to Berlin Staaken, where it was met by the German president, Paul von Hindenburg.

re: Picked in a bunch of german odds and ends

That is a first-class association post card. Do you know for sure it was sent by Wilhelm Keitel? What was Wilhelm's relationship to Ruth and her husband? If they were close relatives, I wonder if their loyalty was suspect after the U.S. entry into WW II?

From what I could decipher it was written by Ruth's mother.

In addition: there were hundreds of Keitels living in Germany in the 1890s. the chance of these being closely related is not very big. It would be a huge coincidence.

Having to spend 15 minutes Googling Harvey Keitel quotes, just to put this lame joke together, indicates that the social isolation thing can't end too soon...

Cheers, Dave.
