This short but important text was one of the very few contemporary works on German Army airships. It was first published in June 1918 under conditions of wartime censorship but with the apparent approval of the Leutnant Lampel's superiors.
Translated for the first time into English, it gives a good flavour of life on board a Zeppelin during flight, and the variety of theatres the German Army airships were deployed to. It includes brief descriptions of raids on Paris, London, Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest, as well as a transfer flight to the Balkan region.
