Kaiserliche Werft Danzig 467 Explained

Numbers 467 to 470 were four examples of a unique seaplane design produced for the flying service of the Imperial German Navy during the First World War.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} These four aircraft were the subject of an order by the Navy for trainer seaplanes for the base at Putzig, at a time when most trainers were merely obsolete front-line types.^[1]

Construction of these unarmed two-seat biplanes^[3] took place between October 1916 and March 1917.,^[1] ahead of a separate order for two more machines of different design that had been assigned lower serial numbers by the Navy (404–405).^[1]
