Overleg:LZ127 Graf Zeppelin

Klopt het wel dat de Graf Zeppelin door de graaf was ontworpen? De hele lijn, OK, maar dit exemplaar is (Wat; 10 jaar?) na zijn dood gebouwd. Aliter 21 sep 2004 10:16 (CEST)

Volgens de Engelse Wiki is het ding slechts naar de graaf vernoemd: The Graf Zeppelin was a large rigid airship (or dirigible), which was a type of craft pioneered by Count (Graf means Count in German) Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the early 20th century.

The LZ-127 Graf Zeppelin was named after the German pioneer of dirigble airships, and flew for the first time on on September 18, 1928. He (German airships were often referred to in the masculine at the time) had a total length of 236.6 m and a volume of 105,000 m³, it was the largest dirigible up to that time.
