One of my friends from our local stamp club brought these covers over yesterday for information on them. They are totally out of my area but, I told him I would ask the experts.
Can anyone give us the information on these flights and an estimate of value? Thank you.
Note that Phil's covers are flown by German Zeps and those you show by American dirigibles (although made by the Germans). The American zeps were military craft that also carried mail, sometimes.

There was an article in the December 1 Canadian Stamp News (thanks David Giles) how the Germans had to slaughter thousands of cattle during world war 1 to make the gas bags (from the intestines) to make ONE zeppelin. Sounds crazy !
Here's my best Zep cover! It fits into my "Cool Cover" album. It has nothing to do with any of my collections but I saw it ending at auction cheaply so I pounced. I always wanted a real US Zeppelin stamp, so now I have one and on flown cover!
