He probably wouldn’t have approved. But I suspect Dr Eckener, the guardian of the Zeppelin legacy after the war, would have approved, he was more of a showman and an entrepreneur than the old count had ever been.

It is actually a flying television set. What would the great Count have thought?

That could work too! There was also a pole in the original photo, which could have been a wing strut, but it was at the wrong angle so I cropped it out. Anything for the aesthetic …

I love it when documentary photographs submit to an aesthetic, it makes much more sense than the reverse.
I don’t see a biplane string, by the way: perhaps I’m showing my age, but I see a tracer line in 1991-era nightvision green, rising up from the ground.
