After four promising Lohner B.I prototypes were completed in 1912, twenty-eight were ordered as Series 11 or Type B, and they were all delivered by mid-1913. Light construction methods meant the planes had insufficient loading margins and they had to be flown with a gentle hand. Four Fliks were using Lohner B.Is when the war began, but they were retired as less fragile planes arrived in the autumn. [1]
Sixteen were converted to dual-control trainers in the form of the Lohner B.I(Fd) Series 73. [4]
