Zeppelin LZ 4, 1908, (1932). German experimental airship constructed under the direction of Ferdinand von Zeppelin, first flown on 20 June 1908. LZ 4 was destroyed when it caught fire after landing near Echterdingen in Germany to carry out engine repairs during a projected 24-hour endurance trial.This disaster proved fortunate for Zeppelin: donations by the German public raised 6.5 million marks, so guaranteeing the future of his development of airships. From "Die Eroberung Der Luft", (The Conquest of the Air), cigarette card album produced by the Garbáty cigarette factory, 1932. Eugene and Moritz Garbáty, who were Jewish, were driven out of business by the Nazis in the late 1930s, and forced to sell their factory which lay empty for over 70 years.
