Zeppelins
German Airships 1900–40
Charles Stephenson ; Ian Palmer (Illustratør)
On 2 July 1900 the people of Friedrichshafen, Germany, witnessed a momentous occasion - the first flight of LZ 1, Count Ferdinand
von Zeppelin's first airship. Although deemed a failure, a succession of better craft (LZ2 to 10) enabled the Zeppelin to expand into the consumer market of airship travel, whilst also providing
military craft for the German Army and Navy. Les mer

On 2 July 1900 the people of Friedrichshafen, Germany, witnessed a momentous occasion - the first flight of LZ 1, Count Ferdinand
von Zeppelin's first airship. Although deemed a failure, a succession of better craft (LZ2 to 10) enabled the Zeppelin to
expand into the consumer market of airship travel, whilst also providing military craft for the German Army and Navy. The
years of the Great War saw the Zeppelins undertake strategic bombing missions against Great Britain. This title covers the
post-war fate of the Zeppelins, including the crash of the Hindenburg, and their use by the Luftwaffe at the beginning of
World War II.
