Extract

Prior to the war, experience in this country in the production of successful rigid airships may be counted to be practically negligible. The war period, however, produced an intensive programme of rigid airship building in which the early designers were seriously handicapped owing to this lack of previous experience, and owing to the insufficient time and opportunities for research and experiment, a state of affairs which persisted to the end of the war.
