German floatplane
« on: March 30, 2012, 10:53:06 AM »
I found this original photo some weeks ago in a box of very interesting photos offered for sale for Euro 0.50 each.
Reverse side just remarks it is a floatflane accompanied by a submarine,
Any guess which type it is? Seems a Friedrichshafen, but I am not certain on this.
If you want to have full-res file, just let me know!!

There were many FF sub-types as far as I know.
Any chance to be more specific? German Kriegsmarine serial numbers were quite straightforward and that means origin can be traced. Would be very happy with accurate description since it is indeed a remarkable photo with that German submarine.
