Circumstances:
On a flight from Naples to Ajaccio, while approaching the coast of Corsica, the crew encountered an unexpected situation and was forced to ditch the seaplane in the Mediterranean sea off Alistro. All three crew members were quickly rescued by the crew of the torpedo named 'Simoun'. The aircraft was salvaged but later considered as damaged beyond repair.
