Friedrichshafen FF.33h

The FF.33f fighter/patrol seaplane as succeeded by the Friedrichshafen FF.33h. The 33h saw cleaned-up aerodynamic details and floats with the goal of reducing drag. Forty-five were built before the type was replaced in production by the Friedrichshafen FF.33l.

In addition to changing to clean two-bay, smaller wings, a small bomb load was carried so the planes could attack enemy shipping. It was in production from spring to autumn of 1916, with planes delivered in batches of five to ten. Despite a shorter wingspan, the 33.H was somewhat slower than its predecessors.
