Just imagine the fun you could have with german aircrew if it it was filled with helium

Might have been filled with hydrogen! The pic was taken at Cardington, the home of British lighter-than-air, where the airship R.101 was built. Barrage balloons and lots of those decoy inflatables were built at Cardington during the war.

I've seen pictures of Great War torpedo planes dropping their torpedoes so low, like this one, that the splash from the torpedo is covering the entire aircraft. The aeroplane ended up in the drink.
