cards in a series published by DELAG, Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft, a zeppelin operating firm tied to LuftschiffbauZeppelin. The message side has a handwritten note “From the airship,which regrettably has not yet opened its doors to me, an ordinary mortal,for a trip – nevertheless, I’m sending you my warmest greetings. Yours,with greetings from the air.” The sender name is illegible. The senderhanded the card to either a crewmember or passenger on the flight. Theaddressee was Mrs. Ila Folsdner at 124 Olgastrasse in Friedrichshafen,a home on the lakefront west of the city center. No doubt, she wasimpressed to receive this card as her family saved it for generations!Image 5. After leaving Flensburg, LZ-126 flew through the night, arriving in Berlin at10:20 a.m. This real photo postcard by A. Gross shows huge crowds mesmerized bythe site of the zeppelin overhead.Separated after the drop, this mailbag and one of its cards arenow reunited after most of a century and from sales in two auctionson different sides of the Atlantic Ocean. I am proud to be the zeppelinmatchmaker who brought them together.Resources“Fahrt-Bericht L.Z. 126.” Archiv der Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH,Friedrichshafen, Germany.Manfred Lösemann and Werner Rau, Zeppelin “LZ 126-ZR3” Handbuchüber die Postbeförderung (Dülken/Friedrichshafen: 1998).Special thanks to Dieter Leder, Margit Naden, Patrick Russell, andM.T.
