Nope, those were the Zeppelin's defense screen. :-, A few of them carried
a small handful of combat fighters for defense, but they proved to be extremely
difficult to "land" under the airbag, and the loading/unloading crane mechanism
was overly complex and prone to failure at exactly the wrong moment. But
they've earned point from me anyway, for coolness. Pity they were never used
(AFAIK) in U.S. Navy airships...
