This W29 was flown by Oblt.d.R. Friedrich Christiansen, and the letter 'C' in a diamond on a white stripe was his personal marking. He won the Pour le Merite for downing British airship C27. The gunner had an unobstructed field of fire aft due to the unusual design of the tail, and could also fire forward except through the propeller arc.

The prototype W.29 on the Planer See, before its Marine Number of 2204 was added, 27 March 1918. The gunner's cockpit employs an LVG gun ring and was built up differently from that which was to become standard. The early rudder was to be increased in area. The rudder was cut away at the top for clearance for elevator movement and there are no horn balances on the ailerons.

The prototype W.29 with its Marine Nummer 2204 applied, in the configuration in which it was accepted for service and was subject of the SVK drawing for the type. The machine is in the standard color scheme of pre-printed fabric on the upper surface of the wings and tailplane. Fuselage and sides and bottom painted light blue-grey. The turtledeck behind the gunner's cockpit has been painted to match the wing fabric or else pre-printed fabric has been doped to the ply.The curved crosses are marked with a white outline to the fuselage, rudder and probably the top surface of the wings. The underwing crosses are applied to white panels. These photographs were dated 4 April 1918, at Warnemunde.The ailerons are now fitted with balance surfaces.

The Brandenburg W.29 was a main antagonist of the F.2a flying boats during patrols over the North Sea. The W.12 biplane fighter was the original fighter used to intercept the F.2a boats, but was not fast enough to ensure catching the big British boats before the W.12s had to return to base due to low fuel. The monoplane W.29 was developed from the W.12 to achieve quicker interceptions. The larger W.19 biplanes and W.33 monoplanes were similarly developed to offer longer range and consequently greater radius of action with the same speed as their smaller siblings. The Brandenburg two-seat floatplane fighters were the most effective seaplane fighters used in WWI combat.

The early curved crosses were replaced by this thick interim style of national marking per the order of April 1918, a month after the Army had adopted it. The rudder is now painted white. Note the tailplane shape on this, the third prototype, MN 2206. From an examination of photographs it appears that the first batch had a different tailplane from the prototypes. This was less curved than that of the prototypes and closer in shape to the final design. MN 2206 was listed at Norderney naval air station by the Allied Naval Armistice Commission on 7 December 1918. (via AHT AL0087-042)
This overhead 3/4 view of a W.29 shows the new broad lower wing design covered with the Marine Tarnstoff Bespannung (naval camouflage covering fabric) to good effect with the large-sized Balkenkreuz markings on the wings. Allied flying boats had to group together in 3-5 aircraft patrols to provide protection against these aircraft, so effective were they in the fighter role -

A Brandenburg W.29 monoplane leads two W.12 biplanes off from Zeebrugge. The W.29, MN 2209(7), bears the interim national markings while the W.12 biplanes show the interim crosses marked on an all white rudder and white panel on the fuselage. No white can be detected on the wings of the nearest W.12, MN 2037, the crosses having no outline. (AHT AL0064-08A)

Officers and men with 2287. The huge national markings on the wings where the curved crosses were converted to the straight sided cross stands out well in this view.This machine was sent to the Front in early July 1918.
W29 Marine #2287 was the type aircraft for the C2MGHFT version, which carried a wireless transmitter and receiver in addition to the forward-firing gun and flexible gun; it is shown here at Warnemunde. Flight performance was similar to the C3MG version. Marine #2287 was sent to the front the first half of July 1918. -

The first production tailplane and elevators may be discerned in these photographs of MN 2292 at the SWC test center at Warnemunde while undergoing acceptance trials on 9 July 1918. Note the wire frame on the fuselage side near at the rear cockpit that was the support for a wireless dynamo for this C2MGHFT machine. Dutch records note that W.29 MN 2292 alighted near Rottumeroog at 09.00 on 10 August 1918, and it was destroyed by another twin-engined German aircraft when it could not tow the machine back to international waters.

The W29 was a monoplane development of the W12 biplane for greater speed. Here W29 Marine #2532 from Norderney (indicated by the two identification stripes on the aft fuselage) on patrol over the North Sea. Like #2532, most W29s were category C3MG and had two fixed machine guns for the pilot. If a wireless transmitter and receiver were installed, the pilot had only one fixed gun to avoid over-loading the aircraft and reducing its performance. The Brandenburgs were at their most vulnerable when taking off and landing, and since they were based near the front there was always the possibility that they would be attacked by Allied land-based fighters. That was why the naval aircrews adopted the tactic of taking off and landing in formation, and maintaining a stepped Vee formation in flight with clear fields of fire for all the gunners. Without the handicap of floats British fighters, mostly Sopwith Camels, had the advantages of speed, climb, and maneuverability, so formation flying for mutual defense was a priority for the crews.

W.29 MN 2536 displays the late narrow form of national marking without any sign of over-painting. These markings were adopted on 19 June 1918, and continued in use until the end of the war. The personal emblem appears to be a stylised (Christmas?) tree. This machine appears to have the late tailplane and elevators.This W.29 was recorded at Borkum in the information provided to the Allied Naval Armistice Commission.

It is known that this machine was used for discovering the location of minefields for their removal. MN 2598 is shown with what appears to be an Italian flying boat. The original caption identifies the location as Wilhelmshaven. This machine was reported as unassembled at Wilhelmshaven back from the Flanders Front on 6 December 1918.

This W.29 MN 265X (possibly 2655) was fitted with a 245-hp Maybach Mb.lVa engine as an experiment. Testing of this version reported that the machine was easier to fly than the 150-hp model but was not as manoeuvrable.The aircraft in this batch were delivered in November 1918. The tachometer was mounted in front of the windscreen in order that the pilot could watch his revs and maintain correct revolutions to allow for the correct operation of his synchronised machine guns.

An early W.29 on the ramp at Warnemunde displays the shape of the early elevators. Aerodynamic interference between the tailplane and the elevator balance led to the tailplane being modified.The tailplane was built into the fuselage and could not be easily changed for another of a different shape. It appears from photographs that the horizontal tailplane was cut back to enable the elevator balance to operate freely in the air stream. Later aircraft from 2565 were delivered with a new tailplane that had the elevator balances free. The compass faring together with the anemometer speed indicator on the port wing, and the wing walks on each wing root, can be clearly seen. (AHT AL0225-02)

Three Brandenburg W29s of Christiansen's IC Staffellanding back at Zeebrugge. The Mole, a mile-long 80yd-wide curved breakwater of solid concrete, jutted out into the sea and afforded the necessary protection to the twin piers (seen in the background) that guarded the entrance to the inner basins and the Bruges Canal. Seaplane operations took place in this sheltered area, and regardless of the state of the outer sea, it was unusual if seaplanes could not operate when required.
Based so close to the front lines, the Brandenburgs normally took off and landed in formation to provide mutual protection against attack by British fighters. Here Oblt.z.S. Christiansen takes off in his Marine #2512 in the background. -

In all, 80 of these Hansa-Brandenburg W 29s were to be delivered to the navy between December 1917 and July 1918, when production switched to the far higher powered W 33. Initially powered by a 150hp Benz Bz III, later built W 29s had the up-rated 185hp Benz Bz IIIa, giving this two seat reconnaissance fighter a top level speed of 109mph. Climb to 3,280 feet took 5.9 minutes and the W 29's patrol duration was a respectable 4 hours. The twin white diagonal bands on the rear fuselage of this W 29 identify it as belonging to the Starboard Watch of the Norderney naval flying station.

Two W29s and a W19 photographed from another Brandenburg patrol over the North Sea in summer 1918.
Longer-range W19s would frequently patrol with W12s and W29s, which sometimes waited on the surface until the W19 found a target and returned to lead the flight to it.Другие самолёты на фотографии: Hansa-Brandenburg W.19 - Германия - 1918

On these W.29 machines the two white bands are separated by a dark (black/red?) band. On the original the number "N 43" may be made out forward of the fuselage cross. This is presumed to be a Nordeney base number. These machines have the late style national markings on all surfaces, (via AHT AL0064-06)

Two formations of Brandenburgs hunt over the North Sea. Brandenburgs often patrolled in formations of five aircraft; the trailing aircraft in the formation in the lower photo took the photo of the others.
Fighting seaplanes operated alone initially, but the emergence of Allied formations over the sea and the example provided by the fighter formation work in the German Army Air Service led to the establishment of the 'C-Staffeln' which operated in strengths of 3, 5 or 7 machines. These units did not confine themselves to pure aerial fighting but undertook reconnaissance work in all its forms. This is a C-Staffel of five Brandenburg W29 monoplanes from Borkum, identified by the white oblique band carried on the fuselage ahead of the tail unit. -

A Brandenburg W.29 attacking downed Large America flying boat N4305 of Capt E.A. Mossop. On 31 July 1918, the boat was attacked by five W.29 monoplanes of 1.C Staffel and forced to alight. Shot upon the water it caught fire and sank. Three of the crew were rescued but two drowned. The action was captured by a cameraman in one of the W29 floatplanes. (AHT AL0588-014)
Christiansen had confirmed the following victories over seven of the large America flying boats, all in 1918. Curtiss H.12B N4338, 15 February 1918. Curtiss H.8 8677, 24 April. Curtiss H.12, 25 April. Felixstowe F.2A N5433, 4 June. N5433 had landed and was taxing towards shore when set on fire. Felixstowe F.2A N4297 and N4540, both on 4 July 1917. N4297 was forced down but not lost and N4540 was only shot up. Felixstowe F.2A N4305, 31 July. Some of these victories were shared. He also had ships that were sunk or captured in his total score.Другие самолёты на фотографии: Felixstowe F.2 - F.5 - Великобритания - 1917

A W29 attacks British Submarine C25 which was caught on the surface on 6 July 1918. Armed only with machine guns, the Brandenburgs penetrated the pressure hull, preventing the submarine from safely submerging. Their gunfire killed the captain and five crewmen and damaged the submarine so badly it was forced to return to port for repairs. For this action Oblt.z.S. Friedrich Christiansen was credited for a victory over C25.

On 6 July 1918 Christiansen's IC Staffel flying five W29 monoplanes caught the British submarine C-25 on the surface off the British coast and immediately attacked it. During the action some 5,000 machine-gun rounds were fired at the boat and it was sufficiently disabled to prevent its being able to submerge. By now out of ammunition, the W29s were forced to return to Zeebrugge. During this action Leutnant Ehrhardt was able to secure some remarkable photographs; this one taken over the pilot's shoulder shows the low altitude used on the seaplanes's firing passes.

Close-up of the nose of a Brandenburg W29 showing details of radiator, cowling and the forward-firing LMG 08 with its ammunition chute. The instability of phosphorus cartridges caused the weapons section of the SVK to investigate the internal ammunition stowages on forward-firing seaplane guns. It was found that the W29 installation raised the temperature of the ammunition by 15°C due to the proximity of the engine mass. At outside air temperatures of 25°C the final temperature was sufficiently below the 50° danger point that induced spontaneous combustion of the unreliable cartridges, and the W29 was given a clean bill of health.

The German civil airline Deutsche Luft Reederei (DLR) operated at least one W.29 postwar. The machine was still in its wartime colors with the crosses removed and the German postal flag and the company's logo painted on the fuselage. Armament was removed and the gun ports faired over with sheet metal as can be seen in the photographs. The curved radiator is noteworthy.

Seven Brandenburg floatplanes were taken to the Isle of Grain, one being delivered ini 920 from a number that were completed post-war in violation of the Armistice terms. This particular machine was found by the Allied Naval Armistice Commission at Warnemunde on 14 December 1918, and taken to the British Isle of Grain test center where it is illustrated. The machine is in full German camouflage and national markings with small British cockades to the wings. Note that the machine is unarmed and a pitot has been fitted to the port wing.

MN 2670 was repainted while at the MAEE. The German national markings were replaced on the fuselage and rudder with the British roundel and the Marine Nummer was given a white outline. The wing roundels were increased in size. It is thought that this over-painting may have led to the incorrect recording that Brandenburg seaplanes were painted in sea green.

This striking painting by Steve Anderson depicts the action on August 11, 1918 when Brandenburg fighters attacked six British Motor Torpedo Boats (MTBs) operating against German minesweepers. Three of the MTBs were sunk and the remaining three were damaged so badly they beached themselves in neutral Holland to avoid sinking. Brandenburg W19 Marine #2249 shown here was one of the fighters that sank an MTB.

The war over the North Sea did not get the same coverage as that on the Western Front in the pulp magazines between the wars. Here is a sketch from the story "Raiders of the North Sea" from Air Stories, Vol.4, No.4, April 1937, depicting combat between a dazzle painted Felixstowe boat and Brandenburg monoplanes. The W.29 floatplanes bear the intermediate straight cross national insignia as seen on many and are lining up to attack from astern. The Felixstowe boats would dive for the surface of the sea in order to prevent the enemy from attacking from below where they had poor defence.

В.Обухович, А.Никифоров Самолеты Первой Мировой войны
Во второй половине войны в морской авиации Германии возникла острая потребность в современном поплавковом истребителе. Английские разведывательные летающие лодки и патрульные дирижабли все активнее действовали в Северном море и у берегов Франции. Многоцелевой гидросамолет W 12 уже не справлялся в полном объеме с возложенными на него обязанностями по перехвату воздушных целей, и в начале 1918 г. командир базы гидросамолетов в Зеебругге Фридрих Христиансен предложил Хейнкелю модернизировать его.
Новый поплавковый истребитель Ганза-Бранденбург W 29 был разработан на базе W 12, что было продиктовано необходимостью скорейшего ввода самолета в боевую эксплуатацию. Второй немаловажной причиной для принятия такого решения была очень удачная конструкция предшественника. Конструктор Дорнье, возглавивший этот проект, оставил почти без изменения фюзеляж и хвостовое оперение. Их форма позволяла обеспечить стрелку достаточно большой сектор обстрела. Поплавки остались прежними. Коренной переработке были подвергнуты несущие плоскости. С целью максимального облегчения веса планера и уменьшения аэродинамического сопротивления бипланная коробка была заменена монопланным подкосным крылом довольно толстого профиля. Его площадь осталась примерно такой же, как у W 12, что было вызвано необходимостью сохранения приемлемых взлетно-посадочных характеристик. Законцовки крыла приобрели прямоугольную конфигурацию. Самолет был оснащен двигателем Бенц Bz.III (150 л. с.) с лобовым радиатором автомобильного типа. На машинах последних серий устанавливался двигатель Бенц Bz.IIIa (185 л. с). Первые сорок самолетов были вооружены одним синхронным пулеметом "Шпандау", а остальные - двумя. У стрелка был турельный "Парабеллум". Многие машины имели радиостанцию. Христиансен, приглашенный опробовать новый самолет в полете, оценил его очень высоко.
В апреле 1918 г. первые истребители-гидросамолеты Ганза-Бранденбург W 29 были переданы в строевые части морской авиации. Самолет показал отличные данные: высокую скорость полета и хорошую маневренность. W 29 стал лучшим в мире для самолетов такого класса и грозным противником морской авиации Антанты. Однако пилоты обращали внимание на недостаточную дальность полета машины. Чтобы как-то преодолеть этот недостаток, был придуман оригинальный тактический ход, правда, осуществлять его можно было только в хорошую погоду. Группа W 29 приводнялась в заданном районе Северного моря, а разведку окружающей акватории вели W 19, имевшие большой радиус действия, Координаты обнаруженных воздушных целей передавались по радио и группа взлетала на перехват.
11 августа 1918г. группа из четырнадцати W 29, возвращавшаяся из патрульного полета на базу в Боркум, обнаружила шесть британских летающих лодок и атаковала их. Только трем экипажам лодок удалось уйти от преследования и приземлиться в Голландии, где они были интернированы.
Летом 1918 г. появился увеличенный вариант W 33, оснащенный двигателем Майбах Mb.IV (245 л. с).
До окончания войны было произведено 190 машин двух вариантов. После войны самолеты выпускались в Норвегии, Финляндии, Дании, Японии. Всего было построено 482 самолета.
