Photo Comment
The Macchi M.9 flying boat saw Italian military service just before the end of WWI. Nine examples were sold to Poland in 1921. The M.9bis featured an enclosed cabin with two passenger seats. It found favour with the Swiss operator Frick & Co, which was founded in September 1919 and soon renamed Ad Astra Aero. Pictured here on Lake Zurich, wearing the Macchi logo, this airframe received Swiss civil reg CH-19. Another one was CH-20.
