Re: KuK Flying Boat Photos
Thanks Clint
I have really nothing to say regarding these Albatros training flying boats.
Located a photo (small and rather bad) of the sS3 where the serial shows off much better than the aircraft.
The photo on e-bay is perhaps before delivery to KuK Seeflieger?
With regard to the W.13, I go by the details provided by Reinhard Keimel who explicitly state the type was developed by Ing. Weichmann (with help from Ernst Heinkel) who worked for Hansa-Brandenburg at the time. UFAG and Phönix then built the type under licence.
The design - production of flying boats for the Austria-Hungarian Navy is complex and I have not worked out yet how to file all the data. It is not made any easier with designers going back and forth between the companies and basically designing the same aircraft all over again....
It is of course up to every individual how they want to file photos and data, but I prefer to keep things under the original company, even when designs have been sold and not only been built under licence. There are exceptions, one good one which comes to mind is the De Havilland 125 which I file under Hawker Siddely....
Cheers
Stig
