Expanding amid a wave of German nationalism, in which the Zeppelin became a patriotic symbol of Teutonic technological might, DELAG airships soon flew over all the major cities of Germany. Years ahead of aeroplanes, airline passengers on DELAG’s ships flew in plush cabins and served the finest food and wine by the world’s first flight attendant.
