variants with their own articles=The FBA Type H was a reconnaissance flying boat produced in large numbers in France during World War I. A development of the FBA Type A, the Type H shared the same basic configuration but was a larger and heavier machine based on a Donnet-Lévêque design and powered by a Vee engine in place of the earlier type's rotary. Aside from its production in France, the type was also built extensively under licence in Italy by several firms, most importantly SIAI.

One Type H was built as an Avion-Canon equipped with a 37 mm Hotchkiss gun. Although this was a landplane, its fuselage retained its basic flying boat form.
