The first airship bombing Warsaw


...it's almost 3 in the afternoon and SL2 has released her 8 t of deadly cargo. There are no signs of enemies aircrafts. Polish army hasn't prepared for war. She leaves burning Warsaw behind, makes turn above the river Vistula and returnes to west.

Schutte-Lanz airship SL2 made her first flight on February 28, 1914. It carried out six missions on the first year of the war over Poland and France. After being enlarged in summer 1915, several more missions were carried out before SL2 was stranded at Luckenwalde on January 10, 1916 after running out of fuel.
