Four Italian and three French seaplanes take off to perform an offensive action towards Pula.

Unable to reach the target due to adverse weather conditions, they conduct the attack on a cruiser and two enemy torpedo boats sighted in Punta Salvore and Rovinj.

During the action an Italian seaplane is hit and forced to land.

Reached by a torpedo boat, it is towed to the Venice seaplane base.
