Summary:
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.
