Zeppelin: Giants of the Sky Zeppelins were the sky's biggest aircrafts ever. So - have you ever thought about managing a fleet of them? In "Zeppelin" this is just your job. Invest in new technologies, build airships for several nations, find new flight routes and win the race with competing companies.
