The Lohner Type M got its start back before the war, with Lohner’s chief engineer Karl Paulal finishing design work in 1913. A key difference of this flying boat and previous designs was the hull, which had a longer, more pointed shape. This greatly improved the sea handling of the type. This also gave the Lohner Type M a distinctive look. When war broke out in 1914, the Type M was outfitted with the capability to carry fifty kilograms of bombs. With that armament, the Type M performed anti-shipping missions as well as reconnaissance missions, with some remaining in service as long as 1917.
