Pre WW1 Postcard - French Air Ship the Patrie

The ‘Patrie’ was the first airship built for the French military, she was completed in 1906 and had training manoeuvres in 1907, in November 1907 she broke her moorings in a storm and drifted from France to Ireland, she came to ground but was blown back into the air and vanished across the ocean never to be seen again.
The postcard shows the ship in flight and is in very good condition.
