OFH Phoenix DI monography

This is for those interested in Austrian aircraft.......
I am trying to buy that issue of the Osterreichischen Flugzeug Historiker (OFH) nachrichten with the monography on the naval Phonix DI.Is there anyone who already has read it and can tell me if is it worth buying this book and how can I find it?
I already have the good Albatros monography on this subject but it is rather lacking in informations about naval use of this type.

Thanks in advance.

The Kriegsmarine used Phonix D series, but I wasn't aware of any use of the Albatross D series other than by the LFT. How did you come by your copy of the Albatros monograph? There were ony 213 Phoenix D typwe constructed and I don't know how much information that would make available.

Thanks for your reply ,Leo,but I fear that my poor english has led to a little misunderstanding;infact I was referring to the Albatros Productions monography about the Phonix DI (WINDSOCK DATAFILE N.31)wich is very detailed but,as I said,talks too little about Phonix DI's naval service.
As for Albatros fighters in service with the K.u.K. Marine actually no Albatros D serie aircraft was ever taken in charge but in July 1918 the Austro-Hungarian Navy received directly from the German Navy eight Albatros W4 single seat fighters as a counterbalance for the delivery to the Germans of eleven 345 hp Austro-Daimler engines.Renamed E5 to E12 these second hand W4s
were stored in the Pola Seearsenal and saw little or no use at all as operational aircraft and also the project to employ them as single seat photoreconaissance aircraft was abandoned.The report of a Macchi L3 about an encounter over Monfalcone with a "Pfalz fighter with floats" in August 1918 could be referred to a W4 and demonstrate that the K.u.K. Marine at least evaluated operationally the type as a fighter.
But probably I said things you already know.

Thank you for the info on the W4's. I didn't know that. Your English is ten times better than my Italian. Please don't assume I know something. I usually do not. Thanks again.
