Zeppelin - Cultural influences
The history of Zeppelins is of particular interest to stamp collectors. From 1909 through 1939, Zeppelins carried mail during their international flights, including covers (envelopes with stamps attached and cancelled) prepared by and for collectors. Many nations issued high-denomination Zeppelin stamps, intended for franking of Zeppelin mail. Among the rarest of Zeppelin covers are those carried during the fateful flight of the Hindenburg; those which survived are invariably charred along the margins, and are worth thousands of dollars. An airship museum is planned to open in Suffolk, England.
Zeppelins have also occasionally inspired fictional works. Some notable examples include:
- Zeppelin (UK, 1971): A movie about a German Zeppelin mission in World War I and a German-born British flier facing loyalty conflicts. Directed by Étienne Périer.
- The Hindenburg (USA, 1975): A disaster film about the fateful last trip of LZ129, based on a (rather improbable) sabotage plot. Directed by Robert Wise, it starred George C. Scott, Anne Bancroft, Gig Young and others.
Zeppelins are a prop of a modern sub-genre of science fiction that is inspired by the visions of the 1930s. Examples are The Rocketeer, Crimson Skies and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Zeppelins are also featured in certain role-playing and war games, such as "Twilight 2000".
In addition, sophisticated Zeppelins are the standard cargo lifter in David Gerrold's SF series The War Against the Chtorr.
Popular hard rock band Led Zeppelin derived its name from a quip made by The Who drummer Keith Moon about the band going over like "a lead balloon".
