This may be a little early to consider the "Golden Age", but what did German zeppelin crews wear? Were they naval uniforms, or perhaps a hodge-podge of things like other pilots during the Great War?

Just curious...

Depends on when you were thinking of...

I think the WWI-era crews wore Imperial German Navy uniforms with Naval Zeppelin division markings, a Zeppelin flight badge and a leather watch-coat.

Been there. It's great. I'm saving up for a flight in Zeppelin NT. Ryanair fly cheaply to Freidrichshaven from the UK.

I'm surprised nobody posted the picture of Indiana Jones saying "No ticket" from "I. J. and the Last Crusade"
