The Lohner Type L two seater reconnaissance/bomber flying boat was used to real effect by the Austro-Hungarian Navy during the 1915-1916 period. Based on Jakob Lohner's 1913 Type E, the Type L was powered by various engines rated between 140hp and 180hp, giving the machine a top level speed of around 65mph. Thanks to its wing design, the Type L showed an impressive high altitude capability, having a ceiling of about 16,400 feet. Around 160 Type Ls were built, but such was their operational success that the machine was copied by Macchi in Italy, leading to the Macchi M.3 through M.9 series.

The reality of the Adriatic air war in 1916... On February 2, 1916, the crews of three Lohner L 81 (Linienschiffsleutnant D. Konjovic and Linienschiffsleutnant J. Ritter von Ritschl), L 83 (Linienschiffsleutnant W. Hell and Linienschiffsleutnant M. Sewer) and L 82 (Linienschiffsleutnant K. Low) recognized the region of Valona falling into the strong fire of the Italian Opel in the port area and over the island of Saseno and still carrying out bombing targets. As a result of the fire of the opl Lohner L 83 flying boat had to forcibly launch due to a damaged radiator. Right next to it, a Lohner L 81 flying boat was launched, the crew of which took the L 83 crew on board and, with a total of four pilots on board, happily reached the base in the Bay of Kotor.

В.Обухович, А.Никифоров Самолеты Первой Мировой войны
Фирма Якоба Лёнера выпустила первый самолет для морской авиации Австро-Венгрии еще в 1911 г. Это был период интенсивного развития военной авиации, и морское ведомство прилагало усилия, чтобы не отстать от веяния времени. В морской авиации Австро-Венгрии использовалось значительное количество самолетов. Однако все они были произведены фирмами, которые контролировались известным предпринимателем и бизнесменом Камилио Кастильоне. Якоб Лёнер, создавший ряд удачных поплавковых самолетов и летающих лодок, сумел поколебать лидирующее положение Кастильоне в поставках авиационной техники для морской авиации.
Перед войной главный конструктор фирмы "Якоб Лёнер Верке" Паулал разработал серию одномоторных летающих лодок под индексами "Е" и "L", которые применялись для морского патрулирования и разведки. Лёнер Е стала первой летающей лодкой фирмы. Она представляла собой деревянный биплан с однореданным корпусом. Хвостовое оперение было поднято над фюзеляжем и крепилось с помощью стоек и подкосов. В качестве силовой установки использовался двигатель Хиро (85 л. с.) с толкающим воздушным винтом. Было построено около 40 машин этой серии. Они применялись для разведки восточной части Адриатического моря.
Вскоре в производство были запущены более крупные летающие лодки серии L Образцом для серии стала лодка L-5, созданная в 1914 г. и оснащенная двигателем Бенц (160 л. с). Ее корпус был прямоугольным, однореданным и обшивался фанерой. В передней части размещалась кабина экипажа, который состоял из пилота и наблюдателя, сидевших рядом. За кабиной крепилась бипланная коробка крыльев, между которыми устанавливался двигатель с двухлопастным деревянным толкающим воздушным винтом. Бипланная коробка была усилена тремя парами стоек и растяжками. Элеронами оснащалось только верхнее крыло. На законцовках нижнего крыла крепились стабилизирующие деревянные поплавки. В январе 1915 г. в авиационных частях на шкворне рядом с наблюдателем стали устанавливать 8-мм пулемет "Шварцлозе".
На лодках Лёнера летал известный морской истребитель-ас Готфрид Банфельд. Он испытывал в боевой обстановке практически все новые летающие лодки Австро-Венгрии. Уже 2 сентября 1914 г. он сбросил с самолета серии Е несколько небольших бомб на войска противника в Черногории. Первую же воздушную победу Банфельд одержал на машине серии Т (она отличалась двигателем). За время войны Банфельд выполнил на летающих лодках около 400 боевых вылетов и сбил 20 самолетов противника.
Всего было произведено 123 машины различных вариантов с двигателями Мерседес, Хиро, Рапп.
