Service
After being attacked by an Austrian flying boat on 11 December, 1915, Lieutenant Gravener saw the plane set upon the waves with an engine problem. B 11's machine gun jammed and the enemy plane was able to take off again before a ramming attempt could be made.[7]
But the opportunity would arise again, as on 17 January, 1917 B 11 captured another seaplane and crew who had set down with engine trouble.
