| D-LZ127 | First flight on 18 September 1928. After review it was agreed that the Graf Zeppelin would have been incapable of flying with helium, was retired one month past the disaster. The ship was brought in to the airship shed at Frankfurt and deflated. The ship was then placed on stocks, and formed part of a museum exhibition. The ship stood in the hanger attracting many visitors in it's final days. The end for the Graf Zeppelin came with the outbreak of World War II. In March 1940, Hermann Göring, the German Air Minister, ordered the destruction of the remaining dirigibles, and the duralumin parts were fed into the German war industry. |
