Up To No Good

Image from wikicommons. Specifications list this as taken by A. Millership in 1914. Inscription German Zeppelin dropped bombs on the local golf club located nearby Hollywood Farm NR King's Heath. I expect the NR meant near.

Great photo.

If indeed correct as a raid in 1914, this is one of the earliest of the war. It would pre-date the official British first raid of late December.

These airship raids continued throught the great War. Later, these raids were joined by aircraft raids of the Gotha bombers.

I suspect crewing these great airships some of which were nearly 700 feet long was a very harrowing affair.

I think the setting would be delicious.

Murder in the skies among the crew. Who is to know if they don't make it back?

I told you I was up to no good.
