Zeppelin machine gunners by Matania, WW1
Zeppelin machine gunners attempting to beat off a British aeroplane attack. The gunners are positioned on a 9 foot platform above the bow end of the airship, which pitched and rolled with the swaying airship, which frequently nose-dived in order to avoid searchlights and shells. A light wire fencing prevented the men rolling off the roof of the airship. This view of the platform was reconstructed by artist Fortunino Matania after an examination of a fallen Zeppelin. Date: 1916
