London on High Alert: Zeppelin Menace Looms

In a chilling prophecy, T.R. Macmechan, president of the Aero Nautical Society of America, warned that London would suffer another devastating Zeppelin attack within sixty days. The aerial assault, Macmechan predicted, would be bigger and more brutal than anything the city had endured before, with night after night of unrelenting terror. The German airships, Macmechan claimed, would be a massive fleet of at least ten Zeppelins, capable of risking the loss of four or five in a single raid. This, he believed, was because they had now gathered a formidable force, one that would allow them to strike repeatedly across the Channel, unleashing the kind of fear they sought to instill in the British people.
