Zeppelin LZ 49, with the tactical number LZ 79, was the 49th airship built by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin and the 23rd commissioned by the Imperial German Army, a P-class military Zeppelin. It was built at Potsdam and made its maiden flight on 2 August 1915, then operated from several bases in Germany, France and Belgium. Under Captain Victor Gaissert it carried out three bombing missions, including a 17-hour raid on Brest-Litovsk and Kovel on the night of 10 to 11 August 1915, and dropped 4,440 kilograms of bombs in total. During a raid on Paris on 30 January 1916 it was hit by anti-aircraft fire, lost height and crashed near Ath in Belgium, and it was dismantled.
