Sky pirates? Hell yeah! We badly need a remake of the classic game Crimson Skies!!
To quote The History Guy, "Don't all good stories involve pirates?"
Considering it was during a war and the ship was considered a "valid war prize" wouldn't they technically be considered "privateers" instead of pirates, or would they need official sanction to perform the actions for them to be considered privateers?
I wish anyone makes any Sci-fi Steampunk/Dieselpunk Genre About Sky Pirates with Airplanes and Airships like Crimson Skies or Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow. But Hollywood just won’t give it a shot.
I watched Talespin, I know there are more flying pirates than just these guys
Important to point out that the Zeppelin base at that time was in Germany, those islands became Danish in 1920.
That's commerce raiding, not piracy.
"A crew of drunken pilots! We're the only airship pirates!"
Despite this entire video, nobody explained WHY they were abandoning a perfectly functional ship.
I need a sky pirate shanty now.
German Historian here (Working for the IFZ in Munich mostly. As much as i do enjoy a lot of Simons Content i must applaud him for posting this rather unknown Incident on the "Today I Found Out" Channel. Surprised me massively.
Sea Pirates: exist
Nice to see somebody finally picking up this story^^ It's a good one. Another fun fact about the privacy incident is that the bulk of the airship was used to block the wind behind the sailship, leaving it dead in the water. A truly bizarre interaction of vessels.
I think the Houthi capture of that ship via helicopter would count as sky piracy
Nathan zackary manning the zeppelin gypsy magic with the fortune hunters... what a game crimson skies was
With a crew of drunken pilots
There is the Airborn series, a series of novels which play in a world where airships provide for the entire air travel. There is in one book also a raid by airship pirates. When I was a teenager, I really loved these books.
Gives a whole new meaning to Captain Jack "Sparrow"!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Not the only case - and that was a legitimate war prize.
