NOVA Program: Zeppelins of World War I

We are not just a political blog, as we often post on other issues, such as economics, technology, innovation, and science.  I am personally a big fan of the PBS program NOVA, and today's post highlights an interesting show they aired some time ago on the technology behind Germany's zeppelins in World War I.

In a war defined by many blunders by both sides and incompetence in leadership, this show highlights some interesting technological and tactical advances that would change modern warfare forever.  It's hard to justify triumphing war technology, but the show shows how advances made during this time have been used to develop airship technology and discusses how these airships changed how war was fought.  It brings up how technological advances were used to wage modern, total warfare.  It is an interesting watch.
