World War 1 German airplanes, tanks, wagons, a blimp and a motorcycle... all from before 1918


The wheel has me interested, a couple photos down this gallery is another

Notice the extremely long wagon in the middle
Check out the unusual wheels, the one in the middle with the flat plates has a story, I was reading somewhere that due to a lack of materials the Germans were innovating designs to adapt old wheels for heavier loads













Dual engines
all photos from http://momentdinspiration.blogspot.com/ and there are far more there, these are just the few that caught my attention

US Navy blimps/airships/dirigibles, one is the USS Macon

why blimps? Cause these were incredibly big, unusual, and strangely to me they weren't incorporated into the Air Force. What the sailors found relevant, and the fly boys didn't is a matter that is a mystery to me .

Oh yes, and because they have one wheel
