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.
