Zeppelin LZ 86, tactical number L 39, was an R-class Zeppelin of the Imperial German Navy in the First World War. It flew two reconnaissance missions around the North Sea and made one attack on England, dropping 300 kilograms of bombs. While returning to German airspace it was destroyed by French anti-aircraft fire near Compiègne on 17 March 1917. The source article is brief and its specification table is headed for LZ 80 as a representative of the R class, so no figures of its own are recorded from it.
