"Britain came late to the airship game, only developing larger rigid dirigibles after London had been bombed by Zeppelins starting in May 1915. Those attacks highlighted just how effective airships could be and with the threat of even larger Zeppelins on the horizon, the UK Government decided to accelerate its own development plans."
