J.Herris AEG Aircraft of WWI (A Centennial Perspective on Great War Airplanes 16)

AEG 1914 Flying Boat
  
   AEG completed a monoplane flying boat with side-by-side seating and powered by a 150 hp Benz Bz.III pusher engine in July 1914, just before the war started. Intended for the Ostseeflug Warnemunde competition, the AEG flying boat was impressed by the Navy when Germany mobilized on 1 August 1914. There is no record of tests in the naval war diary, but it is possible some flights were performed by AEG personnel who had come to Warnemunde for the Ostseeflug and were required to remain until released by the Navy. The Navy judged the AEG flying boat as unsuitable for military duties and it was returned to the factory August 26, 1914.
