Hansa-Brandenburg GDW explained

The Hansa-Brandenburg GDW was a floatplane torpedo bomber built in Germany during World War I for the Imperial German Navy.

Design and development

Although similar to the Hansa-Brandenburg GW, it was larger and used Benz Bz.IV engines. Although a prototype was built in the second half of 1916, the German Navy lost interest in the slow-moving torpedo bomber idea, so the GDW did not enter production on order from German command.
