Vintage 1909 movie props from "The Airship Destroyer" ... steampunk all the way

 Airship destoryer in the above image, it's used as a unmanned drone to blow up blimps/airships... the petal propeller and dragonfly wings are comical

 these are both images of the front of this "Armored" horseless carriage

these images are from the 1909 movie "The Airship Destroyer" found on Richards blog http://electric-edwardians.blogspot.com/2011/05/airship-destroyer-1909.html and you can watch the short movie on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBAWWZ2rUGk&feature=player_embedded

Richard has just started blogging, and doesn't yet have an email I can find on his profile or his blog, so I hope he adds one so I can contact him

World War 1 German airplanes, tanks, wagons, a blimp and a motorcycle... all from before 1918


The wheel has me interested, a couple photos down this gallery is another

Notice the extremely long wagon in the middle
Check out the unusual wheels, the one in the middle with the flat plates has a story, I was reading somewhere that due to a lack of materials the Germans were innovating designs to adapt old wheels for heavier loads













Dual engines
all photos from http://momentdinspiration.blogspot.com/ and there are far more there, these are just the few that caught my attention
