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.

1917: German Zeppelin L-49 crashes in Bourbonne-les-Bains, France
Speaking of crashes, you might look up the crash of Quentin Roosevelt, the youngest son of President Theodore Roosevelt. Interesting story as he dropped out of Harvard and joined the United States Army Air Service and became a pursuit pilot. On July 14, 1918 outside of Chamery, France he was shot down and killed by a German pilot. The family had a memorial fountain installed in the town not far from where he died.
Check out a book called "Inviting Disaster". Goes through major accidents through history, lots of Zeppelins in there. Every accident (in hindsight) gives no less than 5 indicators something is coming; just gotta see them.

ReplyDeleteA few years ago I created the index for a book titled, "The Golden Lad", about Quentin. His father was an asswipe.
