On 15 August 1929, the Spanish doctor Jerónimo Megías fulfilled his dream by embarking on the first trip around the world in the Graf Zeppelin.
It was not the first time that Megías, King Alfonso XIII's personal physician, had boarded the famous aircraft. In May of that year he obtained a seat on a trip that would take him and 17 other passengers from Friedrichshafen (Germany) to Lakehurst (New Jersey, United States).
