Found this by searching for 'airship' on Project Gutenberg, where the full text is available for download. Written in the midst of The Great War, it is a fairly standard example of Invasion Literature, featuring a dashing young aviator and inventor, his girlfriend, and his best mate trying to single-handedly fight off the dastardly German menace nightly loosing bombs over London.

I've never liked Zeppelins. Perhaps its my complete inability to suspend my disbelief of them as real war machines.
Thanks Wilcott, it's been fixed.
I think that is the very reason I find Zeppelins so fascinating, because ... let's face it ... they are utterly useless.
