Friedrichshafen FF.59c

The Friedrichshafen FF.59c was an attempt to improve upon the reliable Friedrichshafen FF.49c a wider wingspan and with a roomier and shorter fuselage.

Twenty FF.59c seaplanes were ordered before the Armistice, but it is not known whether they saw action. Its fuselage was more compact than its predecessors and it had a larger range. Both receiving and transmitting radio equipment were fitted.
