company entering the business with ten DFW B.I type semi-finished aircraft, in order to speed up assembly and production in the newly established factory.
In 1914, the Aspern race was the first to be reported in foreign-language journals, such as Zeitschrift Für Flugtechnik Und Motorluftschiffahrt, in July 1914, and an article in the Hungarian-language aviation magazine "Aero" appeared in 1916: "The Hungarian Lloyd. "
Almost in the last days of the peacetime, on 27 June 1914 in Aspern near Vienna, Lieutenant-General Bier Henrik reached an altitude of 6170 m with one passenger and set a world record!
"The first Lloyd aircraft, which later became legendary, was taken over by the Imperial and Royal Command and put into service in the southern front immediately after the outbreak of the First World War.
[4] Most often, the pilots Captain Dworzák, Lieutenant Pieler and Sergeant Dobos flew this first Lloyd aircraft, many times at the greatest risk to their lives, as can be seen from the marks of hits from the shots on the fuselage and wings.
The Lloyd, which at that time was still a novelty, was fitted with a plywood cowling and was now powered by a 136 kW (185 hp) MÁG Daimler engine (this aircraft was also the first version of the two-seat fast-flyer).
This type was later fitted with 162 kW (220 hp) engines from the MARTA factory in Arad and was equipped with both forward and rearward firing machine guns.
