J.Herris German Seaplanes of WWI (A Centennial Perspective on Great War Airplanes 15)

Kaiserliche Werften Type 1105

  Two Kaiserliche Werften Type 1105 floatplanes, Marine numbers 1105 and 1106, were built at Kaiserliche Werft Danzig. In the listing of German seaplane numbers, Marine number 1105 is described as a B/S class (unarmed trainer) and 1106 is listed as a C2MG/S, an armed two-seater intended for training. Both were powered by a 150 hp Benz Bz.III.
  Technically, the most interesting aspect of this type is that no bracing wires were needed in the wing cellule due to the strut design.
  The two floatplanes were ordered in December 1916 and no delivery date is given, although #1105 is shown as returned to the dockyard on December 7, 1917. At least #1105 was completed and evaluated by the SVK but was not accepted and was returned to the manufacturer. Its ultimate status and that of #1106 are not known due to incomplete SVK records.

Aircraft Development:

<...>
  Imperial German Navy seaplanes numbers 1105 and 1106 were the only examples of a unique design produced for the navy’s flying service (not for training purposes) during the First World War. They were unarmed biplanes of conventional configuration with staggered wings of unequal span. The empennage included a sizable ventral fin. Intended as training aircraft, the pilot and instructor sat in tandem, open cockpits. The undercarriage consisted of twin pontoons. The interplane strut arrangement was remarkable for its day, consisting of N-struts and V-struts without any rigging wires.
  These machines were supplied also to the naval base at Putzig at the end of 1917. After a short time at least the 1105 were returned to the manufacturer as “unserviceable”.
