First sentence: IN the recent voyage of the Graf Zeppelin across the Atlantic Ocean to these shores there is more to be read and understood than the lessons of successful dirigible navigation and construction; it opens a new chapter in the annals of lighter-than-air craft, one that has a rich background of human endeavor in which skill and courage have played equal parts.
