Zeppelins Shorts
Description: A Zeppelin is a type of rigid airship named after the German inventor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin who pioneered rigid airship development at the beginning of the 20th century. Zeppelin's notions were first formulated in 1874 and developed in detail in 1893. They were patented in Germany in 1895 and in the United States in 1899. After the outstanding success of the Zeppelin design, the word zeppelin came to be commonly used to refer to all rigid airships. Zeppelins were first flown commercially in 1910 by Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-AG (DELAG), the world's first airline in revenue service. By mid-1914, DELAG had carried over 10,000 fare-paying passengers on over 1,500 flights.
Description: Great for World War One and early aerostat or lighter-than-air aircraft flight lovers, enthusiasts who love WWI German airships, model makers and early air warfare buffs. Perfect for world war one blimp (I know) memorabilia collectors showing two airships flying above a city in the sky, adapted from a book cover from 1926, the title of which in German reads Two German airship ports of World War Ahlhorn and Wildeshausen.
