Smoke Screen (1914-1918)

Location unknown - date unknown. Various shots of an airship laying a smoke screen at sea. We see the aircraft from below and above as the smoke billows out - quite impressive. We also see what appears to be missiles being dropped on a ship - or possibly ship being torpedoed. Various shots of a ship turning turtle and sinking. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
