LZ 54 (L 19)
The airship ''L 19'' (manufacturers construction number LZ 54) was a World War I Zeppelin of the ''Kaiserliche Marine'' (German Imperial Navy). While returning from her first bombing raid on the United Kingdom in early 1916, she came down in the North Sea. Her crew survived the crash, but drowned after the crew of a British fishing vessel refused to rescue them; at the time this was a widely reported and notorious incident.
==Description==
The L 19 was one of twenty–two P-class military Zeppelins built by Luftschiffbau Zeppelin for the German Army and Navy. They were improved versions of the pre–war, M–class aircraft. They had a larger gas volume and more power, having four instead of three engines. These were initially Maybach C-X engines; later replaced with the , Maybach HSLu. The Zeppelin had two gondolas, the forward one housing the control cabin and a single engine, the rear containing the other three engines. The P-class Zeppelins were around faster than the earlier craft; they had a higher service ceiling, over double the range and double the payload.
A bomb load of could be carried and a number of MG 08 machine guns were mounted for aircraft defence. The number of guns varied – army Zeppelins carried more as they operated over land and enemy aircraft were a greater threat, navy Zeppelins carried fewer to save weight. The guns were mounted in the two gondolas under the airship, in a tail gun position, and on a dorsal gun platform on the top of the envelope. This upper platform could accommodate three guns and their gunners. The airship's normal complement was 18, but it could be flown with a smaller crew.〔Chant, page 109〕
