O.Thetford, P.Gray German Aircraft of the First World War (Putnam)
Oertz W 8
After the Flugschoner, which was a tandem wing biplane, more normal wingtip floats were used and the wings themselves of conventional layout. The later aircraft were designed for the 260 h.p. Argus As IV engine, but this never materialised in time, and they were fitted with airship Maybachs of some 240 h.p. and still managed to give a performance in excess of the estimated figures, later in the war the firm was absorbed into the Hansa Brandenburg concern.
Engine, 240 h.p. Maybach Mb IV. Span, 19.6 m. (64 ft. 3 3/4 in.). Length 10.7 m. (35 ft. 1 1/4 in.). Height, 3.54 m. (11 ft. 7 1/8 in.). Area, 70 sq.m. (756 sq.ft.). Weights: Empty, 1,584 kg.
