This R-Class Zeppelin made its first flight on 22nd February 1917 and made 15 reconnaissance missions around the Eastern Front and the Baltic Sea and (or including?) 3 attacks that dropped a total of 6,000 kilograms (13,000 lb) of bombs. In 1920 it was ordered to be transferred to France as part of war reparations and used there for testing and evaluation. Only the rear engine gondola survives and is on display at this super museum.
