Designer Karl Arnstein sat at a window of the Akron's control car, a proud smile on his moon face, his hands folded complacently across his stomach as the ship floated up over her birthplace and turned her nose to the east. It was not yet dawn next day when the ship dropped her landing lines on the Lakehurst field but Dr. Hugo Eckener (whose beloved Graf Zeppelin is currently under command of Captain Ernst Lehmann) was on hand to see her and to chat with his old friends, famed Commander Charles Emery Rosendahl and Designer Arnstein (who also...

Front & centre Mrs. Hoover's place would be marked by the end of a red-white-&-blue ribbon leading upward to a small closed hatch...
