THE SLAYING OF THE FIERY DRAGONS
Two airships fell victims to the enemy's defensive of London.
German Official.
Twelve German airships took part in a raid on London and various Eastern and East Midland counties on Saturday night and early on Sunday morning, but on their return journey the raiders numbered only 10.
The other two had been left behind in Essex. One was brought down in flames not far from London, and its crew were all killed; the second came to earth near the coast, and its crew of twenty-two surrendered.
Both the lost airships are big vessels of a new pattern.
British Official, September 24, 1916.
