The history of the Albatross reaches back well into world war II. In 1944 the USAF ordered the development of an amphibious aircraft which was to be used for training future flying boat crews and serve as a Search and Rescue aircraft. Three years later on 24th october 1947 the Grumman's wining proposal, the Albatross left ground for the first time. As the potential of the then used helicopters was deemed unsufficient in the field of sea rescue, the Bundesmarine decided to obtain five HU-16B from USAF inventory. These machines were accompanied by a further three HU-16A coming from US Navy stocks. After a complex modernization in the begining 1960s, all aircraft received the new designation of HU-16D.
