NAVAL AIM STATION, Lake
hurat, N. J.( Aug. 29, (A.P) Loop
ing tho loop around the world In
one of the greatest exploits of fly
ing history, the German dirigible.
Graf Zeppelin nettled to earth at
7:13 o'clock, K.8.T., this morning,
just 21 days, seven hours and 3a
minutes after leaving on her 20,000
mile journey.
Actual flying time, deducting tho
time spent on the ground at Fried
rlchschafen, Tokyo . and Los An
geles, tho only three stops that
wero made, was lb days, 23 hours
and 14 minutes, both flying and
olnpsed time breaking all previous
rucords.
Tho last leg of the flight from
Los Angeles, was completed In 61
hours and 59 minutes. .
Tho previous rocord for elapsed
time around tho world was made
last year by John Henry Mcas and
C. It. J). Col Iyer, who used planes
over land and ships across the At
lantic and Pacific. Their Mm wa&
23 days, 15 hours and 21 minutes.
The only previous flight around
tlyi world In any sort of air craft
was made In 1924 by the United
States army filers. They took 176
days to get around, of which. 15
days and six hours wus spent act
ually In the nir.
. Tho weather was perfect as tho
Graf reached the end of tho first
flight around tho. world of a llght-er-than-uir
ship. A. warm, morning
sun shone on the great bag's sil

crowd of som 5,000, persons racing
a lung the' ground to bo close at tho
landing, and pulntod Its noso
downward.
Tho ship overshot tho landing
crew of 450 sailors and marines
ami they had to scamper arcoss tho
field after the dragging ropes
which wero lowered to the ground
at 7:(7. Once they had hold of
them the operation of lowering the
dirigible to the ground was per
formed with export precision.
As the Graf wns being hauled
down Commander Hugo Eckcner,
its veteran commander, waved
from a cabin window and Liouten
ant Commander Charles E. Itos
endahl, U. 9. N., who intido the en

him to wave a gray scarf to tho
crowd below.
The crowd was handled without
any trouble by woll drilled sailors
and marines and the wholo sccno
