Zeppelin-Staaken Drivers
Is anyone aware of any first person accounts regarding the flying of the Zeppelin-Staaken bombers? Technical info is easier to find than how they flew, were they beasts or gentle giants?
Accurate fiction would satisfy my interest. Spinning Jenny |

Hi,
No first hand accounts, however... She had a very big span, was really slow (about 125km/hr), engines were underpowered for the plane some people say, and ameliorations happened from plane to plane almost, a bit like it's Russian counterpart. I would say it was rather good to fly, as we see no really big landing accidents as with the Gotha's, and for the pilots, they were in a spacious closed cockpit, with windows. FWIW, I think it can't have been that bad. Best from Johan |

Except for that poor private lowered in the observer car. And those big diesel engines must have been loud.
