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.

The Royal Aircraft Factory's F.E.2 had one of the longest service careers of any aircraft during the First World War. Beginning its operational life as a two-seat fighter/bomber on daytime missions in 1916, the "Fee" soldiered on until the Armistice, finishing its history as a night bomber. (Painting by James Dietz.)
