Product information "Zeppelin 80th Anniversary Royal Air Force - postage stamp mint, catalog no. 843, Fiji"
This mint stamp from the Fiji Islands, from a stamp set, was issued on April 1st, 1998 for the 80th anniversary of the Royal Air Force. The postage stamp for 44c shows the English military airship R 34. Catalog no. 843
The military airship R 34 was recreated by the Admiralty based on a captured Zeppelin airship. In 1919 it made the first direct North Atlantic crossing in both directions. On July 2, 1919, R 34 took off from East Fortune with a crew of 22 and landed in Mineola near New York after a journey of 108 hours and 12 minutes. The return voyage started on July 9th, and after 75 hours the airship landed on the Pulham base. For Great Britain, the hopes for future traffic connections with airships were not fulfilled, despite this achievement. The rigid airship found few supporters in England.
