(1) and (2) as in 1911; since then they have been renovated, and
no doubt their speed and volume are much greater.
We must accept with some reserve the reports that are current in
this respect, and it may be pointed out that in accounts of the doings of
Zeppelin airships in the papers it can be reasonably doubted whether
all the Zeppelins mentioned are in reality Zeppelins. Probably some
are the smaller types, such as the Gross or Parsifal. The word
Zeppelin seems to have become synonymous with a German airship,
and the wounded soldiers or prisoners who are responsible for many
of the stories told would not be likely to have complete knowledge of
the distinctions between classes of airships.
Though what Germany is exactly doing in way of new manufacture
must remain in much fog, still we can form some opinion as to her
preparedness with aircraft on the lighter-than-air principle from our
knowledge of what she possessed last year.
The table on the opposite page will show that her fleet of airships,
including those under construction, was then by no means negligible.
A nation possessing such a fleet of large airships as Germany
does must be provided with sheds (hangars) for their reception in all
parts of the country, and by the table that is appended it will be seen
that in this way last year Germany was very amply provided.
I am indebted to the Aérophile for the following list of German
hangars for dirigibles, with dates of construction and names of

While writing, the news has come that another Zeppelin has
dropped three bombs on Ostend, the casualty list being one dog. Two
unexploded projectiles were found on a field near Waeragheim. These
were probably thrown from the same airship. They show how
constantly missile throwing from a moving airship may fail to come
near the mark. There is no doubt that to hit particular objects aimed at
from airships is by no means an easy matter. Success would seem to
require considerable training in this particular method of warfare. The
late Colonel Moedebeck, in his well-known pocket-book of aëronautics,
makes the following remarks on the throwing of balloon missiles:—
The chief advantages of aircraft that are lighter than air over those
that are heavier than air in warfare are:—
4. They can from their possible size have long range of action.
From their size and the amount of fuel they can carry it is
possible for them to travel for long distances.
This quality renders them specially fitted for naval purposes,
though possibly in the not very distant future more highly developed
hydroplanes will run them very close.
