Notes
While official mail was not carried until the sixth flight, crew member Kurt Schoenherr carried this card and posted it after landing on the next day. In his message, he wrote "from today's flight and landing . . . a wonderful ship LZ129." The flight was 3 hours, 6 minutes long with 55 crew members and 30 passengers. The commanders were Hugo Eckener, Ernst Lehmann, and Hans von Schiller.
