It normally seated a crew of two, though some naval versions had a third cockpit. It landed on a large single hull of Duralumin wrapped around a wooden frame, with stabilising floats on the wings. Two forward wheels and a tailskid were used on land. It was produced by Loening Aeronautical Engineering Corporation, founded in 1917 by US aircraft manufacturer Grover Loening (1888-1976).
