Phoenix KG, Lohner M, and A.H. training seaplanes and flying boats
Hi! I was looking through Wings of Linen Miraheze (more specifically the Phönix company page) when I noticed a note that read " The KG was a more powerful and larger version of the Phönix A, but only a single prototype was built." If you are unaware the Phönix A was a license produced version of the Hansa Brandenburg W.18 with several changes made to the design by Josef Mickl. See https://www.super-hobby.com/zdjecia/1/0/7/19053_rd.jpg (Phönix A),https://www.armedconflicts.com/attac...5165_175_1.jpg (Hansa Brandenburg W.18). If anyone has any information on the Phönix KG I would be grateful if you would share!
3 other smaller questions, what was KG the designation for in the A.H. Navy? (I know for a fact that it does not stand for the Phönix KG, one source lists 128 type KG in service with the A.H. Navy. Also, does anybody know how many Lohner M flying boats were supplied to the A.H. Navy? Finally, does anyone have any information on A.H. trainer seaplanes and flying boats?

Thank you for responding! The Phönix KG has baffled me for a while. I have only 1 source that would suggest that it even ever existed, no photos, side profiles, or statistics whatsoever. As for the Lohner M I don't have much either, for some reason it has 2 Wikipedia pages titled Lohner M and Lohner Type M, both are small, provide some statistics and one even suggests that it was operated by the Kaiserliche Marine, a claim I can give no validity to. Thanks again for sharing!
