IL.2 on the occasion of its public showing at the international air show at Helsinki airport in September 1969 after its restoration. First flown on Armistice Day 1922 as 4D.2, it was delivered to the air arm of the Finnish Army on 1 December. A forced landing in afield on 3 July 1927, caused much damage as the aircraft was fitted with pontoons at the time. Returned to IVL for repair, it ended up stored at Vesivehmaa airforce base for many years together with other veteran aircraft including an Avro 504K, Rumpler 6B1, and Martinsyde F.4, before being transferred to Finnair's Aviation College at Helsinki airport where it was restored by students of the facility during 1967 to 1969. It was displayed at Tampere until the Finnish Aviation Museum was opened.

Despite being a larger aircraft than the W.29, the W.33 is almost indistinguishable from the W.29 in photographs and if the lack of a cut-out at the wing root cannot be seen, then it is necessary to identify the Marine Nummer to be sure that the particular floatplane is indeed a W.33. MN 2538 was ordered as one of the three prototypes on 24 April 1918. This particular machine was in the CK category and was equipped with two fixed, synchronised machine guns for the pilot and a 2 cm Becker cannon for the observer. The engine was the more powerful 260-hp Mercedes D.IVa; other W33s were powered by the 260 hp Maybach Mb.IVa or 275-300 hp BuS.IVa. This photograph was taken at the SVK test center at Warnemunde on 30 August 1918.
The W33 was an enlarged development of the W29 powered by the 260 hp Mercedes D.IVa or similar engines and designed for greater range and endurance. Photographed at Warnemunde on 30 August 1918, this view of W33 Marine #2538 shows the very clean lines of the W33 despite its size. It was finished in the standard late-war naval camouflage. The W33 was the last Brandenburg design to reach combat in WWI but served in Finland for many years after the war. -

View of W.33 MN 2538 taken at the SVK test center at Warnemunde on 30 August 1918, emphasize its clean lines for such a large floatplane.
The Brandenburg W.33 seaplane two-seat fighter had a tail design similar to the Phonix C.I for the same reason, to give the gunner a clear field of fire. Clever design integrated bracing of the floats with the wing bracing. The W.33 was an enlarged, more powerful W.29 to increase range and endurance similar to the relationship between the W.12 and W.19. The monoplane design of the W.29 and W.33 was developed to give the fighters greater speed than their biplane counterparts so they could more easily intercept the twin-engine America and Felixstowe flying boats on their antisubmarine patrols. Using engines of similar power, the monoplanes were about 10 mph faster than the biplanes. The W.33 had a successful postwar career in the Baltic countries and was built under license in Norway, Finland, and Latvia and used in these countries. -

F.20 II in the dark green finish. This machine has two Lamblin radiators under the fuselage. The metal badge of the Marinens Flyvebaatfabrik can be seen on the fuselage near the footstep under the pilot's cockpit. Delivered on 27 August 1923, this seaplane was used together with F.28 to search for herring along the west coast in November 1929. The operation lasted until the end of December and in January the tow aircraft returned to Horten. In 1930 an enclosed cabin for a radio operator was fitted. F.20 II was written off after a fatal crash in August 1933, the crash leading to the grounding of the Brandenburgs still in service.

F.24 displays the bomb racks under the fuselage, underslung radiator, and purpose of the long cylinder on the port float is unknown but is considered to be a storage container. F.24 II was built on a contract for four machines at 28,200 Norwegian crowns without motor. In 1924 it was on a trip to Gothenburg. On 28 June 1926 it suffered a crash but was repaired. It suffered a broken wing on alighting in August 1927. The machine was overhauled in the winter of 1928, but required another overhaul in the winter of 1929/1930 after a forced landing due to engine failure on 18 September. 1 January 1934 found the seaplane at Kristiansand with 833 hours logged. It was written off in December 1935.

Norwegian Brandenburgs at Horten preparing for warfare exercises, 1924. Most Norwegian W33s used the 260 hp Mercedes D.IVa engine. Armament was a fixed Vickers for the pilot and a flexible Lewis for the observer. The original nose radiators were replaced with a pair of under-wing Lamblin radiators, altering the aircraft's appearance. Note the rail lines leading to the slipway. The tall masts in the background would most probably be for radio transmission.

Three W.33 floatplanes at Karljohansvern Marine Flystasjon. F.58 has its Polar Star marking.This is machine c/n 38, the first W.33 to bear the F.58 registration. It entered service on 4 July 1922, with a 220-hp Benz engine and an extra fuel tank that gave it an endurance of seven hours. From 12 to 27 July 1922, Pr. Ltn. Lutzow-Holm and mechanic Myhre flew F-58 from Horten to Kirkrnes and back, a distance of 5,200 km, under poor conditions. For this flight F-58 had a Polar Star painted on the fuselage. On 28 July 1926, F-58 collided with F-24 when alighting. It was struck off charge with 250 hours total flight time.

One of the four F.F.8 Make III built at Kjeller, probably in February 1928. The type and engine is identified by the legend on the rudder: MAKE, 260/B. The Navy did not use this type of marking, indicating that it is in Army markings. The ability of the Brandenburgs to operate from ice and snow was a benefit to the Scandinavian states that operated the type. The two men on the wing give some idea of the size of these large floatplanes.

Starting up a Hansa for an engine test. The airscrew was only turned once behind the compression to lessen the danger of being hit by the airscrew. Carburettor fires were common and the fire was usually suppressed by the mechanic placing his hat over the intake. 4.F.62 of the 2nd Detached Maritime Squadron has dark colored elevators and rudder. The unit emblem was an osprey carrying a sword. In addition to being mounted on skis, a bundle of skis is carried on the fuselage side above the wing. Received on 18 January 1924, it was written off as IL.62 on 22 December 1927 with 237:35 hours flight time.

The Hansas were the first aircraft of the Finnish air force to carry any type of unit insignia. The insignia of the Merilentoeskaaderi (Marine Aviation Squadron) on IL.93 was a wing rising from the waves. IL.74 carried crossed rifles behind the unit insignia as the personal emblem of the OC of the squadron.

IL.97 from the same unit after a hard landing in snow, Pakkolasku, 25 January 1934. Noteworthy are the pale rudder stripes. Received on 22 September 1925, this machine had crashed earlier on a failed take off on 26 February 1932. It would appear that it was written off after the event depicted here.

The A.22 could be equipped with skis for winter operations from suitable fields and frozen lakes. First experiments were carried out in the winter of 1923. While the skis worked, their rigid framework stressed the airframe, and despite discussion it was to be 1930 before limits were set on their winter use. Photographed on 29 March 1933 at 15:26 hours, IL.102 carries the emblem of a mailed arm carrying a sword, the unit emblem of the 2nd Detached maritime Squadron from 1930-1934. The colors were black and white with a red boarder. Served from 12 January 1926, to 10 October 1932 when it made its last flight. It was officially written off on 31 October 1933, with 542:35 hours flight time.

Three IVL A.22 floatplanes in flight. They all bear the IL serial prefix. The way the grey scheme varies in the light is well illustrated here. It would have been a shiny finish when first applied. Note the flap over the elevator to tailplane join.

France received three Brandenburg floatplanes including MN 2731. These photographs showing 2731 under test by the French at Frejus-Saint-Rafael post-war have been used to illustrate the W.34 monoplane in many works, for example in Green and Swanborough's The Complete Book of Fighters. As far as is known only one W.34, MN 2727, was completed and this was post-Armistice. MN 2731 bears French markings with Lamblin "lobster pot" radiator under the nose. The batch MNs 2730-2759 is reported to have been W.29 monoplanes; however, it appears that the machine illustrated does not have the characteristic wing root cut-out of the W.29. If the report on this machine be discovered it may clear up this apparent discrepancy.
