This was nos so. From the date of the first airship raid on England on January 15th, 1915, no regulations were made limiting the offen- sive action of the airships.

Their aim always was to destroy those establishments which either directly or in- directly served some military purpose; munition factories, arsenals, stores, docks, wharves, etc. Airships frequently return. ed from their expeditions with their full complement of bombs, because they had not been able to make out such targets with sufficierit certainty. It would have been easy enough for them before returning to get rid of their bombs and drop them on any place over which they happened to fly, if they had wanted to kill harmles citizens.
