Count Zeppelin
Is a Veteran of
the Civil War
It is not generaly known that Count
Zeppelin, the inventor of the great air
ships called for him, is a veteran of
the civil war in the United States,
j and made his first flight in this coun

of cavalry, Count Zeppelin was Wurt
emburg’s military attache and observ
er with the Union army in the Ameri
can civil war. Joining the army of the
Mississippi, he was attached to Gen
eral Carl Schurz’ brigade. It was then
that he had his first taste of aeronaut
ics. He went up in a balloon, sent up
by the federal army to spy out the po
sitions of the confederates. .Zeppelin
not only volunteered but begged to be
permitted to go up. His request was
granted, and during the remainder of
his service with the federal army he
made numerous balloon ascensions.
When he returned to Germany at
the close of the American conflict he
was imbued with a strong taste for
aeronautics, and it is said that even
at that early day he already dreamed
of navigating the air in the dirigible
balloon. Many years were to elapse,
however, before he could begin the
practical execution of his plans. He
distinguished himself in the war with
Austria in 1866 and in the Franco
Prussian war four years later, as an
officer of a Prussian cavalry regiment.
Many thousands of dollars were
used and many lives were lost before
the Zeppelin became an accomplished
fact. With each successive disaster,
the aged inventor set to work to elim
inate the imperfections. Wealthy and
influential friends ,among them the
emperor, shared Zeppelin’s faith in the
ultimate success of his investion. Air
ship after airship was constructed at
great cost, only to meet with destruc
tion after a few flights, and some of
them on their initial flights. The spec
tacular nature of Zeppelin’s misfor
tunes loomed large in the public mind,
and it was only the German military
and scientific experts who continued to
have faith in his invention.
While the German scientific organs
proclaimed each new Zeppelin a tri
umph, the weight of expert opinion in
England was on the other side. At
the beginning of the present war the
English were inclined to laugh at the
idea of a Zeppelin raid. The possibil
ity of sueli a thing was ridiculed by
even the foremost of English aviation
experts, some of whom still contended
that“a balloon cannot be steered in the
air because of the absence of that den
ser medium for the rudder, which the
water provides in the case of a ship.”
