Aircraft Aircraft carrier when?

Bonus points because they actually used it in a war
The 20s and 30s were the Cambrian Explosion for mechanics.
"Throw it the wall, see if it sticks!"
Two world wars sorted that shit with the quickness.
How did they patch bullet holes in dirigibles mid-flight? Was this necessary?
Barring the situations where they violently erupted into flames because the lifting gas was hydrogen, they deflate pretty slowly because of a combination of the relatively low pressure in the envelope and the relatively huge volume of the envelope compared to the size of a bullet hole. WIth the combination of not much force pushing lifting gas out and an enormous quantity of gas to be moved to reduce lift, they have a long time before they sink completely
Just dodge
