J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24)
From March 1912 it was laid down that all German naval aeroplanes had to be of amphibian configuration, a difficult requirement to meet with the marginal engine power then available. By discarding the wheels fitted to the central Coulmann float of the Albatros WD3 (70hp Mercedes), Oberleutnant zur See Langfeld was able to make the first water take-off on 5 July 1912. When the wheels were fitted again, a system was used that enabled them to be raised clear of the water. To reduce water resistance further and allow acceleration to flying speed, the wing tip floats could also be raised by means of the large handwheel on the port side of the nacelle.

Official dissatisfaction with the slow progress of the marine aeroplane led to the first German Seaplane Competition, held at Heiligendamm in August-September 1912. Various manufacturers submitted what were basically landplanes fitted with floats, and although only two (Aviatik and Albatros) met the requirements, the official view was that the problems of amphibian operation had been solved. In a further internal selection, the RMA (Reichs Marine Amt - German Admiralty) purchased this Albatros (80hp Argus) entry from funds raised by the West Prussian section of the Deutscher-Luftflotten-Verein.

This Albatros MZ2 floatplane was used in early trials with W/T (wireless telegraphy) as indicated by the long aerial mounted to the pilot's right.The ground antenna can be seen behind the aircraft.

With this Albatros water biplane, the Kaiserliche Marine made its first attempts at wireless communication as early as 1912. In addition to the antenna wires, various parts of a radio system can be seen.

The Albatros MZ2 was also built as a floatplane; there a float-equipped F2 is being prepared to be lowered into the water by crane. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/The Museum of Flight)
The Albatros WMZ of 1911 was generally considered to be the German Imperial Naval Air Service's first practical seaplane, but aeroplanes were to take a back seat to airships in pre-war naval plans. -
