The Fine Art of Making a War-Film by Heath Robinson, WW1

A Zeppelin Raid On a Poultry Farm in the Vosges District. A makeshift airship on a pulley system, a dummy chicken packed with explosive and a rapidly descending bomb used to recreate a scene in a wartime film - at least in the mind of the ever-inventive William Heath Robinson
