Zeppelin Flight Proves Airship Supremacy Across Oceans
Captain Walter Bruns, a noted Zeppelin expert, says the Graf Zeppelin’s voyage to the United States shows the airship’s practicality for trans oceanic communication. He notes the weather challenges were exceptional but argues normal conditions let Zeppelins cross oceans easily and compare favorably to airplanes, which cannot sail long distances into storms due to fuel limits and lack onboard weather observatories. He doubts Eckener yielded to pressure, asserting the aircraft could fly in adverse weather if cleared from the hangar.
