JohnMacG,

The first photo is a Hansa-Brandenburg floatplane. Don't know the exact type, but the outward slanted struts are a hallmark of the H-B types. The KuK Marine didn't much care for floatplanes, flying boats making up the larger part of their naval aircraft types.

The second image is of a two-seat single engine flying boat, probably by Lohner, Phönix, or UFAG. I'll have to double check.

The second image is L 65, a Te/UFAG flying boat with an 160 hp Austro-Daimler. The picture was taken on 4. April 1916 after the famous raid on Ancona. The pilots are (from left) : Seekadett Ludwig Vamos, Fliegermeister Johann Molnar and Linienschiffsleutnant Hugo Stenta.
regards

VH,

THanks for the informative answer. I've been studying photos of kuk types for some time, but am not as familiar w/ the Flugboote...yet! I appreciate your comments!
