Gustav Otto Flugmaschinenwerke built six M1912 two-seat biplane observation aircraft for the German Army in 1912. The aircraft was broadly similar to the French Caudron G series.

“Aerostatic and Heavier-than-air Aeronautical machine” designed by engineer Giuseppe Pietro Ottino and George Algernon Wyllie. Although the two men patented their invention (filed in 1909) as No.6378 A.D. 1909, it is very likely Ottino invented and designed the machine while Wyllie, an English gentleman, furnished the funds for its construction. A model based on a rotary plane system, it was displayed at the Olympia Aero Show in London during March 1910.

Ernst Ottenbacher (1884-1985) built his first (unsuccessful) monoplane in 1911, more or less a Blériot inspired machine. Later, he went to the Schulze flying school, where he got his flying licence (Nr. 336). He built then his second monoplane in 1912, a Schulze copy, and flew it at the Cannstadter Wasen, Germany.

Heinrich Ott and Schellenberg built their design in 1912 in Zürich Wiedicon (or Wiedikon), Switzerland. Ott is given as 18 years old at the time. The machine was a tractor design with a bird like wing construction. Large flaps (ailerons) are seen on the wings.
