POSTAL HISTORY: 1930 (June 22) Graf Zeppelin postcard to Australia with Airmail 1Mk Eagle tied 'LUFTSCHIFF/GRAF ZEPPELIN' cds, 'BERLIN C' transit d/s of same day alongside, a couple of tiny corner bends. Posted on board Graf Zeppelin on the Munich-Berlin sector of its Germany Round Trip with the hilarious (tongue-in-cheek?) message "I am writing on board the Airship Graf Zeppelin. We had booked for Berlin but have been several trips over Hamburg. Think we are going to land again as we left Captain & II Officer behind. Your loving Daddy". Wonderful personal use by passenger sent to an extremely rare destination for Zeppelin mail.
