 * David Schwarz does not die of heart problems in 1897 and airship technology is advanced by a decade - important when WW1 arrives. or...
 * Zeppelin dies in early airship accident. Schütte-Lanz decides that plywood is not the best building material for airships and his more innovative company advances the technology beyond OTL. or...
 * Gas prices are very high (for some reason) and the more fuel efficient airships become more economical than heavier-than-air vehicles. or...
 * Airships are less useful in WW1 than in OTL so they are not mentioned in treaty agreements at the end of the war. Germany is allowed to continue ownership and development of airships. The Berlin-Rio De Janeiro rout is wildly successful. or...
 * Texas stays part of Mexico giving that country access to large helium reserves. or...
 * add your POD here.
