Answer 3

The Graf Zeppelin was a particular airship, designated LZ-127, that flew from the late 1920s until it was broken up for scrap during the second world war.  The last zeppelin built, the LZ-130, was also named the Graf Zeppelin.

The title "Graf" is equivalent to the title "Count" in English, and refers to Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the German nobleman who built the first rigid airships in Germany at the end of the 19th Century and into the 20th Century.

As a result of his name, rigid airships came to be known as "Zeppelins," but the airships named "The Graf Zeppelin" were only the two:  the LZ-127 and the LZ-130.

The LZ-129 was named the Hindenburg.

Having said all that, a zeppelin at low altitude made a droning sound like a gigantic power mower.  To a 21st Century observer, accustomed to watching airplanes, the 50-60 MPH cruising speed of a zeppelin would seem very slow.

An internet search on "airship" or "zeppelin" will bring up huge amounts of information.

Answer 4

Actually the first half of avondrow's posting is actually probably quite correct. You'd probably hear the dull drone of it's engines increasing in pitch as it began it's dive. Sounding like a low pitched aeroplane (a bit like a B17 bomber blowing a rasberry)
