Airships were essentially bomb carriers called Zeppelins, named after Count Ferdinand Von Zeppelin. They were quite the menacing sight measuring 640 feet long, propelled by four gasoline engines and traveling at a speed of 60 miles per hour. Although they destroyed many factories and homes, they were also very vulnerable to bad weather and vulnerable targets that could very easily be shot down by fighter planes. They were also highly flammable when shot by incendiary bullets because of their hydrogen gas. Although advantageous early on in the war, the development of fighter planes during the war slowly diminished the use of Zeppelins and their…

You say "yes" to the rocket launch.

The automobile lifted the limitations on geography, created new jobs, prompted the development of highways, demanded the need of licensure and safety regulations, and is ultimately a part of every Americans daily life. Automobiles impact American society in countless ways, and with new technology being developed on a daily basis, the automobile will always play a major role in America.…
