Hello all,
Fittingly for the start of our 2014 year, I found an intriguing forum posting over at The Old Hangar on German Zeppelin bases during the Great War:

Helps get those often ignored details of how the giant ships were stored put into perspective!
As no enthusiasm for the previously mentioned contest has been expressed, I will presume there will not be any submissions for it. Oh well, no matter, no mind...
Enjoy the copious amounts of hangar and airfield references!

The Zeppelin in Combat: A History of the German Naval Airship Division 1912-1918 by Douglas H. Robinson is a masterful work. It is one of those arguably peerless texts of military history that can engross and educate. Robinson's research, which was seemingly painstaking, took place over many years. His sources range from first-hand accounts with the then surviving members of the German Naval Airship Division to British Imperial war records and many things in between.

Hello all,
I finally ordered a copy of The Zeppelin in Combat: A History of the German Naval Airship Division 1912-1918, a book I've been meaning to get for several years now.

Keep the gas cells topped off, and watch out for thunderstorms!
Until next time.
