Austro-Hungarian ace, Gottfried Freiherr von Banfield is depicted in the process of scoring his fourth confirmed aerial victory on August 2, 1916, over a Caproni bomber on its way to attack Fiume. Banfield dives away after a pass in Lohner L. 16. The Austro-Hungarian navy used numerous flying boats of different types. The single seat flying boats flown by Banfield and others were particularly successful. This type was extensively copied by the Italians and developed into their Macchi M.5-M.7 fighter flying boats.
