This well known German seaplane was probably the most extensively-built machine of its type in WWI and this excellent DATAFILE is chock full of rare photos and drawings fully documenting these enigmatic seafarers. Final clearance of limited stock...
OF all the many German seaplanes built during WWI, the products of the Friedrichshafen factory were the most numerous, the most liked and trusted by the steadfast marinefliegers of the Kaiser's navy. The FF33 series was developed in 1915 and destined to see out the war via an extensive number of differing versions of which the FF33E, subject of this detailed study,was first to enter series production and ultimately operational service. Friedrichshafen seaplanes were equal to the many and varied tasks which they were called upon to perform and several took part in some notable exploits. Amongst these,the best known was 841 HFT Wolfchen,shipped aboard SMS Wolf which conducted an event-laden voyage that lasted over a year. Wolfchen's story forms a major part of this unique DATAFILE, the first ever monograph describing these workmanlike seaplane classics.Over 60 rare photos;eight pages of 1:48 and 1:72 scale plans; contemporary Atlas drawings;detailed colour notes and three rear cover profiles. Out of print for some time, we have very limited numbers returning to stock , especially invaluable to those building the 1:48 scale Techmod FF 33E kit- available separately..
