Gotha W.D.2

Twenty-five Gotha WD.2 seaplanes were completed in small batches, the first of which were delivered in December 1914. Turkey ordered the last two WD.2's in April 1916 and designated them WD.13s, and indeed all of the initial WD.2's ended up serving in Turkey. A wide variety of different machine-gun mounts were experimented with on the WD.2, from upper-wing-height turrets to conventional rear-arc gun rings.

Early in 1916 the German Navy ordered five for use on their bases on the Black Sea, and they were delivered in March-April 1916.
