Swizy:
Uhm what about Flak canons? There were more then one model able to shoot up at to that hight (even before WWII)
Wazulu :
We go back to the point about lost technology. We have Flak Cannons (Although they aren't actual Flak guns, no) but the problem still remains that the propulsion method simply isn't up to scratch. If I had to guess I'd say they were operated via pressure system, a version considerably less efficient than the method used by today's standards. That, and the rounds fired are unlikely to be of high quality or possess much aerodynamic potential, resulting in extreme limits on the range of weaponry.
Swizy:
If they're able to build ships that rule the air I don't think nobody bothers to invent ground based anti aircraft weaponry. it's not that hard either. Also if technology was lost, before there were airships there must've been Ships, Roads or even Trains. You don't simply switch from 2 dimensional transport to 3 dimensional. There must've been remains of the world before that apocalyptic end.
We come more down to the question what fits more into the univers of airships. But since this is our world it plays in we can judge by previous events in our history.
Gryphos:
Here's an idea, maybe, before the age of air, all the different nations were extremely independent from each other to the point of rarely ever meeting, and not bothering to put in the effort to build things like railway lines. It was only after airships were created, and long distance travel became easy, that the factions started to have international deals and diplomacy. This would also explain how all the different factions have such wildly different governments and cultures, because they never really had any contact with anyone else.

That is... actually the lore you know :P No but yeah, in the age of dust everyone clinged on to their own small settlements, and traveling between them were troublesome to say the least. But after Gabriels escapades, and the re-invention of airships, the people could reclaim the land once more.
