SST class blimp - airplanes
No picture found
The SST (Sea Scout Twin) class blimps were developed in Great Britain during World War I from the earlier SS class blimp. The main role of these craft was to escort convoys and scout or search for German U-Boats. Designs were submitted in 1917 for a twin-engined SS class airship the idea being that should there be an engine failure the craft would not be rendered helpless and therefore less likely to be lost.
