Los lados del fuselaje eran planos, estaba equipado con motor Mercedes D.II de 120 hp los elevadores tenían forma de trapezoide, el estabilizador vertical era de perfil triangular y, aunque aparentemente frágil era bastante resistente estaba sujeto por dos alambres de acero.

Hansa Brandenburg W.12 – Attack on the C.17 by Ivan Berryman.

On the morning of 21st April 1917, coastal airship No C.17 was on a routine patrol captained by Sub Lieutenant E G O Jackson, when sometime around 8.00am, she was attacked by German seaplanes and shot down. Such was their vulnerability that these huge battlebags were an easy target for marauding enemy scouts, their single Lewis guns achieving little by way of defence. The Hansa Brandenburg W.12, on the other hand, was a nimble and useful aircraft that the Germans put to good use in the coastal defence role.


Hansa Brandenburg W.12 - Ataque contra el C.17 por Ivan Berryman.

En la mañana del 21 de abril de 1917, dirigible costera C.17 No estaba en una patrulla de rutina capitaneado por el Sub Teniente EGO Jackson, cuando en algún momento alrededor de 08 a.m., fue atacada por los hidroaviones alemanes y derribado. Tal era su vulnerabilidad que estos enormes battlebags eran un blanco fácil para merodeadores exploradores enemigos, sus únicas armas Lewis logrando poco a modo de defensa. El Hansa Brandenburg W.12, por otro lado, era un avión ágil y útil que los alemanes pusieron a buen uso en la función de defensa costera.

From 1922-1949, Navy Day was a widely celebrated event throughout the United States. The Navy League of the United States chose October 27th as Navy Day because it was the birthday of President Theodore Roosevelt, a very naval-minded Commander-in-Chief. In this image, a DH-4B drops Navy Day literature over San Diego on October 27, 1923, ninety years ago today.

Visitors to the National Naval Aviation Museum can now see the aircraft pictured here in flight on October 27, 1966, forty-seven years ago today, on display. Painted in the markings of an FF-1, it is actually a G-23, a Canadian-built version of the airplane. Found in a junkyard in Nicaragua, the airplane was restored by Grumman and made its final flight to the museum.

A Martin MS-1 pictured on the deck of the submarine S-1, the diminutive seaplane capable of being folded up and carried in a canister on the deck of the boat. In November 1923, ninety years ago this month, a series of tests proved the feasibility of this operation, though it was not adopted for standard fleet use.
