Wrong photo: L-47 was a Lohner type T
[edit]The photo of L-47 is a photo of a Lohner T-type. L-47 was the KuK Kriegsmarine (Austro-Hungarian Navy) serial number, which had no relation to the manufacturer type. L-47 was the 47th aircraft the KuK Kriegsmarine ordered. See http://www.kuk-kriegsmarine.at/seeflieger3.htm for a good explanation. It's a common confusion, because by coincidence, Navy serial numbers L-40 through L-45 *were* also Lohner type L's.
| KuK Serial Number | Manufacturer | Aircraft type |
|---|---|---|
| L-40 to L-45 | Lohner | L |
| L-46 to L-57 | Lohner | T |
| L-58 to L-143 | Lohner | Te |
| Etc. |
I can't remember what the L stood for, but it wasn't alphabetical (the KuK series M preceded it, and both the G and K series followed) and it was not a reference to Lohner, as there were Lohners in the E-series as well.
Best,

First sinking of a submarine from an aircraft
[edit]The French Sub Focault seems to be the 2nd sinking of a submarine via aircraft. The first is the sinking of the HMS B10, which was sunk a month earlier (August 9th), also hit by a Lohner L. 2A02:8109:BC12:5300:29A5:7C50:EB6E:485D (talk) 22:42, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
