We have occasionally mentioned von Weisl in this blog. Mr. Herbert Halsegger notified us of the particular issue of the Neue Freie Presse in which he reported on the trip on many pages, with the above being the headline of the entire paper that day.
In particular, Mr. Halsegger notes that Abul Fath (or Abu al-Fath, in the English spelling), an Egyptian journalist who was also on the flight, played in the tournament organized on the Zeppelin which was organized by Badt and won it, as the Weiner Schach-Zeitung reported (vol. 7 no. 7 [April 1929], p. 107).
This seems to conflict with von Weisel's report in the Neue Freie Presse that the tournament ended with the victory of Dr. von Guerard, in particular after defeating "the members of the press" - i.e., von Weisl and al-Fath.
