The bottom German Military Airship M.I. looks like it's carrying a huge dart.
Weight balance for the rudder?

Damn, I have no idea.
Could it be the empennage?
And what is the empennage? I wondered.
I have looked at it up too, and it is a device that allows for stability and direction control during flight.

A interesting drawing of a steel fighting shield used for approaching trenches during WWI, print dated 1915.
What will they think of next....
How to be courteous to ladies, important instructions to Navy personnel, 1944.
They left out instruction on the proper way to catcall and whistle.

The Junkers Ju 86
Just one man to fly the plane?
If I was the wireless operator I think I would take up flying lessons in my spare time.

Reminds me of back in 1974 I was visiting Australia. We were in Alice Springs and took a flight out to Ayres Rock. The plane held about 20 passengers and there was just one pilot and one stewardess. The pilot was a woman which was rare for commercial pilots back then but didn't bother me. On the way back to the Alice, the pilot let the stewardess fly the plane. I was surprised but then realized it was probably a very good idea.

The arrows show the direction in which the tank is moving.
The numbers show the range in yards at which the plates indicated can be perforated under the particular conditions.
The word “easy” denotes that the critical range has been assessed at more than 2500 yards.
