Notes
Although the private cachet depicts the Cologne cathedral, this charter flight for Krupp employees from Essen flew over Switzerland to view the Alps and countryside. Ernst Lehmann was commander with 53 crew members, 3 Zeppelin Company employees, and 56 passengers. Board post mail, such as this one, was prepared in advance or posted aboard by a passenger or crew member.
