Who can ID this floatplane (No 2)?
Re-bonjour ŕ tous .
Found in "Deutschlands Eroberung der Luft" 1915 this floatplane. "Fuselage"seems to be an Albatros one ,float make me think at Aviatik or Curtiss or Sanchez Besa etc... Any help will be welcomed.  Cheers Richard Last edited by richard B; 29 October 2009 at 04:17 AM. |

Picture 258 in Hackenberger shows the single Sánchez-Besa floatplane bought by the Austro-hungarian marine, where it came in as Seeflugzeug No.14. The machine was not succesfull and flew very little (remarkable that it was photographed during a flight).
The machine can be distinguished by its very long central float protuding far before the nacelle. Also characteristic is the pointed nose )see drawings) and the Voisin-like rudder. This Sánchez-Besa floatplane is sometimes given as a floatplane version of the Voisin "L". The divide between Voisin and Sánchez-Besa was very shadowy as SB was also the sales man of Voisin for a time. The machine had a 100 hp Gnôme rotary engine as a pusher. The machine was ordered in March 1913 and delivered on July 14, 1913.  Source: Schupita, Peter. Die k.u.k. Seeflieger. Cheers Kees |
