J.Herris - German Seaplanes of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (15) |
Two views of Marine #401, built by KW Wilhelmshaven, operating with the fleet. The KW Type 401 was a conventional, three-bay biplane with 100 hp Mercedes D.I engine. KW aircraft built at Danzig were supplied to the nearby naval base at Putzig for training. In the photo below the upper left wingtip has been damaged, preventing the aircraft from flying back to base. The aircraft built at Wilhelmshaven were designated W1, W2, and W3 in Marine number order. | J.Herris - German Seaplanes of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (15) |

Marine #401 at Kaiserliche Werft Wilhelmshaven after being dropped from a crane. It is not known if the aircraft was repaired after this accident. | J.Herris - German Seaplanes of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (15) |
Marine #403 at Kaiserliche Werft Wilhelmshaven was refined from the earlier #401; it had a more streamlined nose and full-length fuselage decking. The Kaiserliche Werft aircraft were essentially prototypes and it is possible that no two were identical. | J.Herris - German Seaplanes of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (15) |

Marine Numbers 404 and 405 were built by Kaiserliche Werft Danzig to the basic design of the Kaiserliche Werft Type 401 although there were likely detail differences between the Wilhelmshaven-built and Danzig-built aircraft. |
