British Aeroplanes attacking the Zeppelin Factory at Friedrichshafen.
On November 21, 1914, three British aeroplanes flew from France across the mountains into Germany, a distance of 250 miles, and dropped bombs on the Zeppelin factory at Friedrichshafen, on the shores of Lake Constance. Serious damage was done, and all the pilots but one returned safely. Another daring air raid was made on Christmas Day 1914 by seven aeroplanes on German warships lying off Cuxhaven.

"O hearts ever youthful, like schoolboys at play, So be it with you in the thick of the fray; In the crash and the smoke and the roar of the fight, Be it yours, if it need be, to die for the Right! While deep in your heart a quick prayer shall arise To Him who looks down on the earth from the skies, For those whom you love in a faraway Home— O! shield them, our Father, whatever may come!"
