The Lohner Type L was a double-decker designed flying boat from the Lohner-Werke . As a further development of the Lohner Type E , it had a more powerful Austro-Daimler engine. The engine was arranged on struts between the wings and drove a pusher propeller. The Type L was used by Austria-Hungary as a reconnaissance and bomber aircraft until 1916 . From 1916 it was initially supplemented by the Hansa-Brandenburg K and Hansa-Brandenburg KG of the Hansa-Brandenburg and later largely replaced.
On May 27, 1915, a Lohner Type L (identification L.40) fell into the hands of the Italian armed forces. The Nieuport-Macchi company was commissioned to produce a copy of the prey machine. The first copy was completed in June 1915 and was given the designation L.1 to make it clear that it came from Lohner. The kuk flying boat L 127 is in exemplary restoration in the Italian aviation museum Vigna di Valle on Lake Bracciano .
