Roughly how many people would one expect on the enemy's airship? I mean, if we assume the crew is around 70-90 members (like the Hindenburg)
If the crew was that size, we never would have stood a chance at all. I based my estimation on the fact that in our ship, which is capable of carrying dozens, there seemed to be a comparatively small number of actual crew personnel. And given that we apparently only need one person to fly the enemy ship, that would imply a minimum of one person, plus guards and a maintenance guy.
Well, of course there would only be one pilot. Could you imagine how difficult flying would be if one person controlled left rudder, and the next controlled right rudder...
You do seem correct though, there is a disproportionate amount of crew to passengers. Perhaps I need to re-think my early 1900's image of this thread.
As for the size of the crew... I think it would be an interesting challenge.

Like I said, one can carry about 10 extra people or so comfortably
This "comfort" you speak of is military speak for "you can carry 20 more people with baggage, right?"
