Airship Destroyer [1909]
Airships are attacking England and no-one can stop them!!! They are striking at will and indiscriminately across the land and there is nothing that can be done!!! Aircraft sent up to attack them seem useless. All is lost!!!
Except a scientist that has developed an aerial torpedo [that looks one part Dragonfly, one part cardboard loo roll, with hints of V1 thrown in - it had rockets and a propeller].
It is launched!!!
And takes down the offending airship!!! [and then he gets the girl, and yes there are a lot of exclamation points!!!].
All this in 6 and a bit minutes
The special effects weren't bad especially given the films age, I've seen worse in films 50 years younger.
It had an odd sound track that I assume wasn't original. but it was discordant enough to also be interesting.
And all this because I wanted to know how far a cruise missile could fly...
