EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Sablatnig SF 2 German two-seater advanced trainer seaplane (serial no. 580), a significant addition to the German navy's aviation fleet during World War I. The image was captured at Warnemunde on the German Baltic coast around 1916-1917, marking the first of 26 deliveries made between June 1916 and May 1917. The Sablatnig SF 2, also known as the SF or SF.II, was a biplane seaplane designed by the Austrian engineer, Franz Sablatnig. This advanced trainer was characterized by its distinctive cross-shaped interplane struts and large wings, which provided excellent lift and stability. The two-seater configuration allowed for both pilot and observer to gain valuable flight experience, making it an essential asset for the German navy's aviation training program. As the first world war raged on, the need for advanced training planes became increasingly important. The Sablatnig SF 2, with its innovative design and capabilities, proved to be an invaluable tool in preparing pilots for combat missions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of military aviation during this pivotal time, showcasing the Sablatnig SF 2's impressive presence on the German Baltic coast.
