The spectacular failure of the Zeppelins. They were giant ships that flew across the sky and terrified a generation of British citizens. Yet they were far less effective than they looked. Filled with hydrogen gas they were slow and prone to crash more often to mechanical faults and bad weather than enemy fire. They cost millions of German Marks and did little material damage that made their use as a strategic bomber useless. But they were the first in any war to take war to the sky and take the war to the homes of the people of England. The Zeppelin was a terror weapon and caused great panic but little else. https://youtube/watch?v=hX2qYkgsuQ4
