German Zeppelin in Brazil Real Photo RPPC card flown aboard the Graf Zeppelin LZ127 airship's 1935 Suedamerikafahrt (SAF) / South America Flight. Slightly worn, excellent condition. Sent from Helmsmann Kurt Schoenherr with message back to Zurich, Switzerland. Appears to be an uncataloged variant canceled on board at Rio (by the Bordpost date of 8/31) , but carried back to Freidrichshafen with 'd' cachet and forwarded on to Die Schweiz. This is from the estate of the nephew of Oberingenieur Karl Beuerle, a lead mechanic on the Zeppelin. A long-time airman, having survived serving in various WWI Zeppelin airships, he was with the Graf from the start (we have several pioneer usages as well!). We were lucky enough to purchase the entire Zeppelin collection of the nephew, who took all of "Onkel Karl's" correspondence and added to it with many further flights (such as this one).
