Zeppelin LZ 64

Zeppelin LZ 64, given the tactical number L 22, was a Q-class Zeppelin of the Imperial German Navy in the First World War, of the same class as L 20. It carried out thirty reconnaissance missions, including eight attacks on Britain, dropping 9,215 kilograms of bombs. On 14 May 1917 a Curtiss H-12 Large America flying boat of the Royal Naval Air Service, flown by the Canadian Lieutenant Robert Leckie with Flight Lieutenant Christopher Galpin manning the bow guns, found it near Terschelling, closed to about 50 yards and fired a drum of incendiary bullets. The Zeppelin caught fire and crashed into the sea 40 nautical miles northwest of Terschelling, and all 21 crew were killed, including its commander Kapitänleutnant Ulrich Lehmann.
