Charity shop book

A couple of years ago we were in a charity shop in Dunoon when a German book caught my eye. It clearly had a dustjacket at one point but it was missing so it was just a plain green-grey textured book with a faded title (My *something* Aunt).

I picked it up to see if it had an inscription, because I collect books with interesting ones but I can't remember if there was because stuck in between the pages was a really old photo. A Zeppelin flying over some hills and houses with a place name written on the back and a date around 1939.

It cost me about 50p and I was paranoid the whole time I was paying for it that the picture would fall out and the guy behind the till wouldn't let me have it.

It's incredible to think that it was taken just before the Second World War and I would love to know more about the picture, the book and the person who owned them.

I keep on meaning to dig it out and scan it in. I'm in the middle of sorting through my book collection so I'm sure I'll come across it soon. :-)
