At the instigation of the Kaiser a committee was formed, the Moorluftschiff-Studien-Geselechaft, to investigate the work of promising experimental airship proposals. One of the designs selected by thic committee as being worthy of further encouragement was that of Major August von Parseval.
Between 1906 and 1923 the Parseval concern built 27 pressure airships, the last of which was of 1 million cu.ft in capacity.
At the time, the Parseval airships impressed the British Committee of Imperial Defence by their performance and potential and an example was purchased for the Royal Navy, with orders placed for three others.
