In the small hours of Sunday September 24 1916 the conflict with the German foe suddenly came much closer to the sleepy hamlet of Little Wigborough. The downing of the giant Zeppelin L33 and the capture of its crew was a cause of great excitement, with thousands traveling from the from the surrounding villages and beyond to gaze in wonder at the wrecked leviathan.
The loss of the Zeppelin L33, together with the L32 on a single night in September 1916 arguably marked a turning point in the strategic bombing campaign against Great Britain by the Imperial German Airship Division. Henceforth the defending forces held the upper hand.
This book describes in detail the Zeppelin L33's only operational flight, followed by a brief account of the German Navy Airship Division's strategic bombing campaign during the final two years of the Great War.
