The Sablatnig N.I was a bomber aircraft developed in Germany during the First World War,[1] a development of the Sablatnig C.I adapted for night operations.

Development

The N.1 was a two-bay biplane of conventional design, with staggered wings, two open cockpits in tandem, and fixed, tailskid undercarriage.[2] At least eight aircraft were built during the war and converted to P.I standard after the Armistice.[1][2]

After the Armistice Sablatnig developed the P.I. Adding a cabin for four passengers, the P.I was one of the few aircraft approved by the ILÜK (Interallierte Luftfahrt-Überwachungs-Kommission, Inter-allied Aviation Control Commission) for production in Germany.[3]

Operational history

Despite limited, if any, use by the Imperial German Army Air service, those N.Is that were built were converted to civilian standards as P.Is and operated chiefly by Danish Air Express and Lloyd Luftverkehr Sablatnig.[1][4]
