Graf Zeppelins World Flight Passes Lordsburg Greeting in Arizona
A vast crowd from Hidalgo county and nearby towns watched the Graf Zeppelin pass south of Lordsburg after a delayed approach from Dos, veering toward New Mexico then failing to reach the planned skyline. The airship drew admiration as it drifted, while officials at a nearby shaft observed it with a field glass. The ship aimed to reach Lakehurst but wind and routing kept it on a southern arc.
