Zeppelin LZ 92, with the tactical number L 43, was a German S-class naval Zeppelin of the Kaiserliche Marine, completed in early 1917 and used for maritime reconnaissance and limited bombing over the North Sea. It entered service in March 1917. On 4 May 1917 it was reported to have attacked Allied ships near a British squadron that included the Australian cruiser HMAS Sydney. On 14 June 1917 it was intercepted by a Felixstowe H12 flying boat, was set ablaze, broke in two and crashed into the sea near Vlieland in the Netherlands, killing all 25 crew. The source records five Maybach engines and a gas volume of 55,500 cubic metres.
