Len Deighton (writing under the pen name Cyril) collaborates with Fred F Blau to present a history of the orient flight to the Holt Land of the Graf zeppelin airship which marked the reintroduction of the air-borne post office in 1929. Certainly a philatelic book but also a precise piece of history of flight, of particular interest to Zeppelin and LTA followers.
