Defeating the Zeppelins

For almost two years during the First World War, German airships
roamed over the British countryside, bombing towns and villages
without fear of a significant response from the aircraft assigned
to defend the country. But all that changed in the late summer of
1916 when a new weapon was introduced, one that spelt the end of
the Zeppelin menace.
