  Does any-one have information, or can point me to plans or publications dealing with thisaircraft. It was very modern for its time in that the central float retracted to form teh lower half of teh fuselage in order to reduce drag (similar to the Blackburn B20). Apparently she was destroyed during taxying trials. I would appreciate any help in this regaurd  

There are two pictures in Gray & Thetford German A/c of the First World War but no plans.
Basic details Span 9m, length 7.77m height 2.9m, 2.0m with floats retracted

Can send you a scan off-list if you like.
