Caption

'German Dreadnoughts of the Air', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'The "Zeppelins" were an important factor in the German principle of "frightfulness". Their evolution and development was marked by an long series of disasters which practically ruined the inventor, Count Zeppelin, and their further improvement as a practical war machine was largely due to private enterprise and capital subscribed by private means.'
