1919 - 1155.PDF
AUGUST 28, 1919 the workmanship, as far as it was possible to judge, being very good. THE HOLLANDSCHE MARINE LUCHTVAARTDIENST, or Dutch Naval Air Service exhibits on its stand a twin-float seaplane, of the Friedrichshafen type, we believe. It is fitted with a Benz engine, and does not present anything of unusual interest. The amount of strutting to the two stepped floats nacelles, developing, we were informed, 130 h.p. each.
