I mean, let's talk about the fear around zeppelins. Zeppelins were used to bomb Paris in WW1[0], which wasn't that effective overall. By the time WW2 rolled around, we have the bombing Zeppelin 2.0 - the long range strategic bomber.
So I suppose what I'm saying is that, when people said "what will we do when they start using these huge flying things to attack us?" The answer was, "Nothing, your city is going to be destroyed." So maybe use another example of, "old FUD," because it seems like the people worried about Zeppelins were absolutely right. :)
