Kaiserliche Werft Danzig 1105
WW1 Seaplane of the Imperial German Navy / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imperial German Navy seaplanes numbers 1105 and 1106 were the only examples of a unique design produced for the navy's flying service during the First World War.[1][2][3][4] They were unarmed biplanes of conventional configuration with staggered wings of unequal span.[1][2] The empennage included a sizable ventral fin.[1][2] Intended as training aircraft,[3] the pilot and instructor sat in tandem, open cockpits.[1][2] The undercarriage consisted of twin pontoons.[1] The interplane strut arrangement was remarkable for its day, consisting of N-struts and V-struts without any rigging wires.[1]
