When the war began, there were approximately
60 Pfalz Parasols under construction.
These aircraft were exact copies of
the French Morane-Saulnier Type L monoplane.
One notable exploit of the Pfalz parasol
was its use in bombing Italian Alpine
positions on July 31, 1915, before Germany
was formally at war with Italy.
