Japan image1929 (Aug 23), Round-the-World Flight, Tokyo - Friedrichshafen (Sieger 31 C var.), picture postcard franked with a 6s carmine (195) tied by an Aug 21 Tokyo c.d.s. with a red onboard c.d.s. dated Aug 3 (!?) and no receiving postmark, Very Fine, signed Dr. Simon, with his 1991 certificate not specifying a catalog number.

The card is from the airship's Chief Steward, Henrich Kubis, to his wife in Friedrichshafen. In the accompanying certificate, Dr. Simon postulates that the onboard cancel either had the incorrect date or that Kubis used a card from a previous flight, and that, after having the card postmarked in Tokyo, Kubis carried the card home with him in his luggage.

A skilled airship captain who trained most of Germany's dirigible pilots during World War I, he was Commander of the airship ZR-3 in a transatlantic flight in 1924, the year he became President of the firm. He built the airship USS Los Angeles for the US Navy in repayment of a portion of Germany's reparation debt. Because the German government of the Weimar era could not afford to fund airship construction, Eckener toured the nation raising money by voluntary donations. With these funds, Eckener built the Graf Zeppelin, in which he circled the Earth (1929) and made a polar flight in 1931., with 2001 Sismondo certificate.
