KapitŠnleutnant Heinrich Mathy was one of the greatest and most successful airship commanders of WW1.
This book, translated into English for the first time, was written by one of his crew, Obermaschinistenmaat Pitt Klein, who flew with Mathy on 120 wartime operations but was left off the final and fatal flight of Zeppelin L 31 on 1 October 1916.
Pitt Klein gives us a unique perspective on what it was like to be part of GermanyÕs most elite Zeppelin crew as they conducted routine maritime patrols and raids against the increasingly effective British defences.
