YOu have to remember the times. This model was a much propaganda as it was a "toy." But, in reality, as soon as the French became aware of the Zeppelin threat, they mounted a 24/7 air patrol for several years during the height of the Zep threat. As a result, Zeppelin attacks were mostly ineffective as an instrument of terror and destruction of the French capital.
