    Although the photo is inscribed "Lieut. Rosendahl," it is likely that inscribed rank is incorrect. Given the time period of this collection of photos, and historical US Navy photos of Charles E. Rosendahl (USN) in the control car of USS Akron (ZRS-4), it is likely that he actually held the rank of Lieutenant Commander when this photo was taken. Rosendahl was an advocate of lighter than air (LTA) flight. He not only served as a US Navy observer aboard the German airship Hindenburg (LZ-129), but he was also the commander of Naval Air Station Lakehurst when the Hindenburg exploded and crashed there on May 6, 1937. Rosendahl would rise to the rank of Vice Admiral by the time he retired from the US Navy in November 1946. See more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_E._Rosendahl
