C.Owers Hansa-Brandenburg Aircraft of WWI Vol.2: Biplane Seaplanes (A Centennial Perspective on Great War Airplanes 18)
The supplying of a special aircraft to an "ace" was seen in other nations, but Banfield had a special fighter seaplane designed and built for him by Josef Mickl. A.11, the so called "Blue Bird," was unique and did not lead to series production though Banfield recommended this. Banfield remained at Trieste until the war's end. He had been severely injured in A.11 on 16 May 1917, but was ready to fly again after a month in hospital.

The unique Mickl A.11 "Bluebird" designed specifically for Gottfried Banfield after bring painted blue.
Among the flying boats Gottfried Banfield flew on operations is this one of a kind Oeffag H serial A.11. It is shown here at the Austro-Hungarian Trieste Naval Air Station in the summer of 1917. Banfield had it painted blue overall and it was subsequently known as the "Bluebird". Banfield liked the Oeffag H and urged its mass production, but that was not undertaken. It is on its beaching dolly and could be rolled directly to the water for takeoff from here. -
