Friedrichshafen FF.43

Overview

The Friedrichshafen FF.43 was a German protoype single-seat floatplane fighter developed during World War I by the Friedrichshafen Aircraft Company (Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen) for the Imperial German Navy's (Kaiserliche Marine) Naval Air Service (Marine-Fliegerabteilung). Only one aircraft in 1916 was ordered; it shot down one British seaplane during operational trials later that year. It was destroyed in January 1917.
