Note: Clara Adams is little known today, but in her day she was known as one of the pioneers of commercial aviation from the 1920`s-40`s. The Lady was known as a `First Flighter` as she was aboard the first flights of the Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg. She was also on the first flights of the Clipper Boats run by Pan-Am thus becoming well known within the aviation world. Widowed at a young age of 29 and having been married to a much older wealthy company President George L. Adams of The American Leather Tanning Co, she was left a very wealthy lady, who then indulged herself into her favourite passion, flying. She began her long association with Zeppelins in 1924 with a letter of introduction to Hugo Eckener from Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, to whom she was related. (Clara Adams was born Clara Grabau, on December 3, 1884, to a German family living in Cincinnati, Ohio; her grandmother was Augusta von Hindenburg, a cousin of the German general and future president.) Her letter of introduction to Eckener ‘opened the magic doors of the Zeppelin realm,’ as she described it, and Eckener invited her to fly on one of the test flights of the LZ-126/ZR-III, which had been built for the Americans as war reparations and would become the United States Navy airship USS Los Angeles.
