Title:
ZEPPELIN! A Battle for Air Supremacy in World War I
Description:
It was early in 1915 that, for the first time in history, the civilian population of Great Britain had strategic warfare brought quite literally to their doorsteps. Carried by Germany's airship bombers -- 'the terror weapons of the skies' -- it continued unabated until finally checked by the fighter aeroplanes of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service.In this book, the complete story of the Zeppelin offensive, from Admiral Hugo von Pohl's successful campaign to persuade the Kaiser to initiate the raids, to the destruction of L53, the last Zeppelin to be brought down in combat, is chronicled in minute detail. The author has spent over ten years in personal research, which has extended to many interviews and much correspondence with surviving servicemen and close relatives of the leading personalities of the time, both British and German. Over 300 illustrations, most taken from private collections.
