Led follower to create flyer (8)
I believe the answer is:
zeppelin
This clue is a double definition.
'led follower' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'flyer' is the second definition.
(zeppelin is a kind of aircraft)
'to create' is the link.
(Other definitions for zeppelin that I've seen before include "old gas-bag" , "air transport" , "German inventor of dirigible airship" , "Large inflatable" , "Count" .)
