Zeppelin LZ 30

Zeppelin LZ 30, with the military designation Z XI, was the 30th airship built by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin and the 14th operated by the Imperial German Army, in service from November 1914 to May 1915. Its maiden flight took place on 15 November 1914. It was stationed at Poznań, from where it carried out bombing raids on cities including Warsaw, Grodno and Kaunas. On 20 May 1915 it was damaged while being moved out of its hangar at Poznań and was driven off by adverse winds; during its descent the airship caught fire and was destroyed. Its gondola is preserved at the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History in Brussels and is on loan to the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen.
