The Zeppelin Luftschiffahrtflygt (Зеппелин луфтсчиффахртфлыгт), or ZLFY, was the principal Air-Arm of Dniegua from 1881 to its disbandment in 1925. Effectively a branch of the Dnieguan Navy from 1881-1915, the ZLFY was principally an Airship command for most of its life until true military aviation forces were established in Dniegua, at which point it became an independent flight unit for land-based aeroplanes, while Dnieguan Naval command established Naval Aviation.
Engaging in Anti-submarine duties, anti-aircraft defense, bombing operations and airborne aircraft dispersal, the ZLFY also preformed the first paratrooper assault and found itself engaged in most Dnieguan conflicts in lits lifetime, at its peak operating some 103 Airships, the largest fleet in the world. After the invention of the Aircraft carrier and increased performance of fighter and bomber aircraft, as well as mounting costs and increased loss in effectiveness, the ZLFY was disbanded on June 8, 1925, with assets split between the army, Navy, and Air force. Dniegua retied its last military Zeppelin in 1938.
