Hugo Eckener (1869-1954) went to work for the Zeppelin Company in 1908. 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. (Image) (Image2)
