I have been researching airships (aka blimps, Zeppelins) recently, and especially their use in World War One. The Germans, British, French and Italians all used them to various degrees, but they weren't very effective mostly due to their cumbersome maneuverability and their inaccuracy in hitting their targets and were later replaced with aeroplanes.
Warfare, however, wasn't their only use. In the late 1800s and early 1900s they were mainly used for passenger transport and were quite elegantly equipped.
