In the early days of World War I, Germany launched a new kind of terror campaign: bombing civilians from the sky from Zeppelins. With a team of engineers, explosives experts and historians, NOVA investigates the secrets behind these deadly war machines. The program explores the technological arms race that unfolded as Britain scrambled to develop defenses that could neutralize the threat, while Germany responded with ever bigger and more powerful Zeppelins. Experts reconstruct and detonate incendiary bombs and test-fire antique flaming bullets to discover how the British would finally take down the biggest flying machines ever made.
