Zeppelin LZ69

Overview

Zeppelin LZ 40, with military designation L 24, was a Q-class Zeppelin built by Luftschiffbau Zeppelin in Potsdam for the Imperial German Navy. It made its first flight on 20 May 1916. L 24 was transferred a few days later to the Tønder Airship Base and remained stationed there until 28 December 1916, when it caught fire during towing into the Toska double hangar, also igniting L 17. Both airships were completely destroyed in the fire.
