David Hobbs' The Royal Navy’s Air Service in the Great War states that:
“Another new wing, 6 Wing RNAS was formed at Otranto which, together with a seaplane base in Malta, provided aerial reconnaissance against enemy submarines emerging from the Adriatic Sea. Patrols from these stations commenced in June 1917 and continued throughout the remainder of the year, a number of submarines were sighted and attacked.”
