A Wilbur Cross Military History of Imperial German Airship Warfare and the First Blitz

When Imperial Germany constructed a fleet of giant, hydrogen-filled airships during the First World War, Naval Airship Division leader Peter Strasser envisioned a psychological weapon that would terrorize London from the clouds. Military historian Wilbur Cross chronicles this pioneering aerial bombing campaign, detailing the colossal aircraft that launched the world's first strategic air raids.

Cross details the rapid technical arms race between German airship engineering and British home defense. From early helpless observations to the development of incendiary bullets and high-altitude fighter interceptors, this narrative captures the dramatic rise and fall of Germany's airborne dreadnoughts.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Wilbur Cross combines aviation technical detail, eyewitness accounts from London citizens, and aerial combat tradecraft. An essential military aviation history for World War I readers and military historians.
