Anybody know what this is?

Recommended Posts

Over time I've culled a lot of pictures from the internet. These four among them. There were no captions, and I just labeled them WIERD_01, etc. But the actual file name came along with, so my labels read WIERD-hb20_01. Could the 'hb' stand for Hansa-Brandenburg?

Hauksbee, that is a model of the Hansa-Brandenburg W.20 which was supposedly built in such a way that it could be broken down and stowed on submarines. Only a very small number of prototypes were ever built and I don't think any saw service.

 

Cheers!

On a submarine? Cool. I've never encountered that before in WWI.
