Some New German Seaplanes

During the late war a number of German aircraft manufacturers maintained special establishments devoted to the construction of seaplanes. Thus the F. F. works (FlugzeugbauFriedrichshagen) had a seaplane branch known as the B.W.W. (Baltische Werft Warnemünde), which has since been acquired by Hugo Stinnes, Germany’s outstanding figure, and turned into an automobile factory.

Airships for Passenger Transportation

For reasons which will be brought out later, the inevitable trend of airships is toward sizes larger than any in existence today. Hence the title to this paper might well be taken to include the whole subject of airship development. To cover such a subject in the limited time available we can do no more than “hit the high spots”.
