Zeppelins, a type of rigid airship, were primarily used for passenger travel, cargo transport, and military reconnaissance in the early 20th century. Their large gas-filled envelopes allowed for long-distance flights and relatively comfortable accommodations for passengers. Additionally, during World War I, they were employed for strategic bombing and surveillance missions. However, their use declined after several high-profile accidents, notably the Hindenburg disaster in 1937.

Why were zepplins easy targets?

Zeppelins were easy targets primarily due to their large size and slow speed, making them vulnerable to enemy aircraft and anti-aircraft fire. Their flammable hydrogen gas made them particularly susceptible to incendiary attacks, leading to catastrophic explosions when hit. Additionally, their flight altitude was often low enough for ground forces to accurately target them. These factors combined made zeppelins a relatively simple target in aerial warfare.
