In WWI, the Germans dropped bombs on London from zeppelins.
Yup. My concern is not so much that these balloons are carrying bombs, but that they’re delivery vehicles for COVID-23. Its not like the Chinese are averse to using germ warfare. We should know that by now.
During the First World War German saboteurs blew up the Big Tom Munitions Dump in Jersey City, NJ on July 30,1916, killing four workers. America wasn’t even in the war yet. But a Democrat was in The White House.
A year earlier in May 1915 a German U-boat sank the liner Lusitania, killing 123 Americas and Wilson did nothing.
I seem to remember reading about an attack attempt by the British on German industry in WWII by sending over weather balloons trailing small cables or wires.
The idea was that a balloon dragging a 300 foot long copper wire could possibly catch in an high-voltage line and damage the German electrical system.
I think they tried it, but without success.
It’s old, but watch the WWI movie “Wings” Howard Hughes made. The Zeppelin operations and bombing scene is unreal. Don’t watch the “how they filmed it” until afterwards. By the way, how they did it is also amazing.
