Robinson's book is excellent though it contains curious gaps. I'm not near my copy right now but recall that some shootdowns are missing from the tables showing each zep.

Yes, but mostly it's tactical/operational. Check the review section on this site for more info.

It is the standard work on WWI German Naval Zeppelin operations. There is another work, in German, which details the Army use of the Zeppelin. Do you read German?

No, my German is limited to stuff like Kampfstärke, Fotze (rude word), Hurenhaus, Reichsicherheitshauptamt, Kurbelwelle, Drehturm etc. Just like my Russian is limited to Ruki vehr, pizda, zhopa, gosudarstvennoi komitet oboronii, narodnii kommissariat vnutrennyh del, sojuz neroshimyi respublik svobodnyh.
