H-maskinen was an aircraft designed and build by Orlogsværftet (Naval Dockyards) in Copenhagen. The first flight was in 1917 and it was in service from 1917 to 1924. A total of 9 were built. It was armed by a Madsen machine gun.
Very little is known about the aircraft, and only a handful of photos exist. However, after a lot of research at the national archives, other museums, and with help from private individuals, I have managed to acquire enough information to build a 1:5 scale model. You can see the scale build here.
