First World War tech: Zeppelins

From the creator

First World War tech: Zeppelins When a German aristocrat Brigadier General Ferdinand Zeppelin retired from the army in 1891, he devoted himself to the study of aeronautics. His proposals to the government for a lighter-than-air flying machine were rejected in 1894, but nevertheless he would invest all his money into a company producing airships. By 1898 Zeppelin had constructed his first airship.
