And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Front machine-gun battery of the German airship. WWI.
Standing on a massive bag of hydrogen with people planning to shoot tracers at you... Hell of a way to fight a way.
ReplyDeleteIts the mortar that has me intrigued, using it for anti-aircraft or air to ground? Seems anti-aircraft would be more than difficult.
ReplyDeleteFlares to illuminate air threats and ground targets?
DeleteI'm with you - that mortar dominates the picture.
I wouldn't want that job.
