The only airship company that I know of that has actually been able to fulfill a "big" order like this is Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH, which produced the three "Wingfoot" airships for Goodyear. That took 7 years. And they already had a ton of experience, and a fleet of three airships already.
- ameister14 4y agoI don't think it was damaged beyond repair by flights - I think it automatically deflated after slipping its moorings in high winds.

But the airship was wrecked in the process and was subsequently written off. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/11/18/19/467A500900000578-5095481-image-a-3_1511032823386.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/11/18/19/467A5009000005...
