Makes 80 Miles Flight
On Sunday, July /, 1900, his first
aerial leviathsn was hauled from its
shed on the shore Of Lake Constance
and made a successful trip Of more
than thirty miles.
II was not until eight years later,
however, that the possibilities OF his
enterprise began to dawn on Germany.
In 1908 he made many trips, one OF
them involving stay of thirty-seven
hours in the air. After that Zeppelin

Within four years there were dis
turbing rumors Of giant aircraft that
scared over France and even England.
Count Zeppelin began to talk with con
fidence of his transatlantic trip, and a
vast dirigible was built for polar ex-
ploration.
Then came the war, and the raids on
England. There were reports
by statements from the in
ventor that he had become a fanatic
on the invasion of England by air.
Count Zeppelin had no sons. His
only child married Baron Won Brandon
stein. on whom was conferred the title
Count Brande nstein-Zeppelin at the
time of the marriage. Their son. born
two years ago, will therefore maintain
the name Of his illustrious grandfather.

From the time when he returned TO

Count Zeppelin was ruled by his pas

that the idea was conceived on this side
of the Atlantic, for his first ascension
was in military observation balloon,
and the first landscape that he viewed
from the air was the encampment OF the
Army of the Potomac.
He was born in Constance, Baden, on
