Photo Comment

The Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 was a 1917 two-seat floatplane fighter with an unusual downward-pointing rudder. Following an emergency landing by a German W.12 in neutral Dutch waters, the type was licence-built by the Van Berkel company in Rotterdam as the W-A. This replica was added to the Aviodrome collection in 2017.
