Germany, 1908, Zeppelin LZ 4, two vintage postcards, the first, postmarked Colmar, 6 Oct 1908, shows the airship in the hands of the ground crew; the second, postmarked Strassburg, 22 Mar 1909, pictures her in flight over Strassburg on 4 Aug 1908, in what was to be its final flight. The LZ 4 was destroyed the following morning when it accidentally came into contact with some trees and immediately burst into flame., Very Fine. Suggested Bid $100
The destruction of LZ 4 was witnessed by an estimated 40 to 50 thousand spectators and resulted in an outpouring of nationalistic support for Count Zeppelin's work. Within 24 hours, unsolicited donations were sufficient to rebuild the airship. Eventually a total of more than six million marks was donated, providing the Zeppelin Company with a sound financial base to continue its development of the airship. (Image)
