Philatelic Society of Lancaster County: Zeppelin Postcards in World War I

Steve Suddaby presents an excellent overview of Zeppelin Postcards of World War I.

In the First World War (1914-1918), Germany employed their lighter than air Zeppelins for high altitude bombing raids. Following a brief introduction and history of these rigid airships, Steve displays an assortment of period picture postcards from Germany, France, and the United Kingdom as they were used to express propaganda (pro and con), national pride, outrage, just desserts, some rare humor, and other topics.

Come take a ride on these lighter-than-air dirigibles as depicted on these fascinating postcards.
