| An enlarged W.12 developed to meet a demand for a
two-seat fighter seaplane with greater endurance, the
W.19 was first committed to operations in January 1918.
Appreciably larger than the W.12, the W.19 was of similar
construction with fabric-covered wings and plywood-
covered fuselage and floats, and was powered
by a 260hp Maybach Mb IVa six-cylinder water-cooled
engine. The substantial increase in span necessitated
the adoption of a two-bay arrangement, and, apart from
the three prototypes, all W.19s carried an armament of
two 7.92mm LMG 08/15 synchronised machine guns
and a single Parabellum of similar calibre on a flexible
mount in the rear cockpit. One W.19 was experimentally
fitted with a 20mm Becker cannon for trials. A total of
53 production W.19s was completed (one being retained
for static tests).
