Pershing has been used frequently as the nomiker for military equipment - missiles, tanks, rifles. I think that must be where I pulled that bit of knowledge from. My American History classes always started to peter out at the turn of the 20th century, so we never really learned much detail about WWI. I know a lot about WWII, though, because it's been so much more omnipresent in popular culture.

What's crazy is how over 100,000 U.S. soldiers died, mostly in a few months in 1918. General Pershing seemingly didn't learn anything from mistakes made by other countries earlier in the war, and committed his soldiers to foolhardy over-the-top style charges.

Zeppelins relied on internal frameworks to hold multiple individual gas cells and to maintain their aerodynamic shape. Blimps have only one large gas bag, no framework and rely on internal gas pressure to maintain their shape. Both are "dirigibles" but otherwise the terms are not interchangeable.

Good quiz. Could do with another 30 seconds for me. Ohh and a little more leeway on the spelling of the "Z" answer.

I filled in 'von Richtenstein' and it got accepted as a good answer.
