No prob. It was entertaining to read that finding targets during WW1 was somewhat difficult. One of the Zeppelin commanders had to learn from a Dutch newspaper what town he actually bombed....

The LZ126 being 'gassed up' in the first image was sold to the US and became known as the "Los Angeles".

Something I found in the book:
It's a photo of the crew mess on board of the "Graf Zeppelin". Notice that thing hanging on a hook behind the coat. Almost tempting to see a holster in that shape. Might just be some kind of bag, but still...
