In memory of the First World War: children being warned of zeppelins.
If the zeppelins come, keep indoors. Put lights out and keep quiet. British means Pluck.
Apparently it did take a while to develop effective anti-airship measures.

It’s not shooting them that’s hard, I learned from G-8 and his Battle Aces, it’s spotting them if there is cloud or fog cover. Also: I hope they’re not planning to strip the citizenship of those (like me) congenitally pluckless.
Apparently it wasn’t till May 1916 that they succeeded in shooting them down. But of course G-8 may have been particularly efficient, from what I read (also a reference to ‘the Kaiser’s mad scientists’).
