I would like to know what type of seaplane are on these photos?
In my opinion on both photos is the same seaplane.
Thank you.

Re: German Sea-Battalions in Flanders
Thanks for help,
You are right it could be Gotha WD 11.
I also have a problem with this one:
Definately it is not a German flying boat. For me it looks like it is a French o Britisch flaying boat.
In the album this photo is described as a French flying boat "Courtigsa" (original text)
I suppose it means a Curtiss Flaying Boat but I'm not sure if French army had this type of boats?

Re: German Sea-Battalions in Flanders
Maybe you are right Cnock,
Maybe it is not a Bernhard von Tschirschky und Boegendorff. I have an album with 72 photos of the Hydro-Airplane Station in Zeebrugge. Some of them are described (but in polish) so at the moment I'm trying solve the problem who is who. There are deffinately names of Tschirschky und Boegendorff and Lieutenant Christiansen and flying boats captured by him.

There are Erich Kästner and Karl Meyer these two German pilots shot down Britisch airship C 17. Theirs action present photo in the middle - C 17 attacked by two seaplens.

Hi,
foto of Karl Meyer is most probably taken on the SS Brussels, a prized ship brought to Zeebrugge, and used as sleeping accomodation for the pilots of Seeflugstation Zeebrugge
