Ernst A. Lehmann

Captain Ernst August Lehmann (12 May 1886 – 7 May 1937) was a German Zeppelin captain. He was one of the most famous and experienced figures in German airship travel. The ''Pittsburgh Press'' called Lehmann the best airship pilot in the world; although, he was criticized by Hugo Eckener for often making dangerous maneuvers that compromised the airships. He was a victim of the ''Hindenburg'' disaster in 1937. Provided by Wikipedia
