Zeppelins

A dirigible was an airship that could be steered. It was nothing more than an elongated gas –filled bag with cars below to carry passengers. Unlike a blimp, it had a rigid structure inside it to help it keep its shape. A rigid dirigible nearly 420 feet long and 38 feet in diameter was built by Count Ferdinand Von Zeppelin in Germany in 1899. The Germans used zeppelins to drop bombs from the sky during World War I.
