On August 7, 1929, Count Zeppelin's LZ127 left the New Jersey suburb of Lakehurst and crossed the Atlantic Ocean to arrive at its original base in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
After a further flight over Siberia, it flew to the naval base at Kasumigaura.
This round-the-world flight by a super-large airship was a big hit with the Japanese public of the time.
The first non-stop flight over the Pacific Ocean, using only a map as a guide, was made.
After refuelling in Los Angeles, he returned to Lakehurst.
The flight was 34200 kilometres and took 300 hours and 20 minutes.
