#717 DFW/Huth "Ganzmetalleindecker" (Germany, 1912)
Image Challenge
A streamlined monoplane, built of and entirely covered with aluminium by Dr. Fritz Huth's Deutsche Flugwerft of Johannisthal, Berlin. It was displayed at the 1912 A.L.A. in Berlin, but the displayed machine, powered by an 100 hp Argus, was probably not airworthy and nothing is known about any flights.

Below another photograph of the same plane.

Source: Schwipps, Schwerer als Luft. Die Frühzeit der Flugtechnik in Deutschalnd (1984), p. 77, with caption (in translation) “Model of a metal monoplane of Dr. Fritz Huth at the ALA in Berlin, built in aluminium or aluminium alloy and steel tubes”.

Lange in his Typenhandbuch, p. 15, says it was shown at the ALA with unfinished wings. Flight tests unknown. Engine: 1 x Argus, 100 hp.

Dr. Fritz Huth’s later Stahltaube (Torpedorumpf-Eindecker) of Deutsche Flugwerft was derived from this model (steel tubes fuselage).
