Albert Kalkert KE Series ?

[hesham]

Hi,

what was this Albert kalkert series,the "KE" ?,I found it in a popular site;

http://histaviation.com/kalkert.html

it was KE 5,7,8,9 & 14.

A quick Google search brought up some data and photos about the K.E.14 on
http://www.pennula.de/flugsport-luftsport-luftfahrt-luftverkehr-luftwaffe/luftsport-luftfahrt-luftverkehr-flugsport-1933/flugsport-1933-luftsport-luftverkehr-luftfahrt.htm
(the FLUGSPORT archive), a site, you made us aware of quite a while ago. The K.E. 5 is mentioned as a high wing, single engined
aircraft with a Bristol Cherub engine of 36 hp and having flown only for 20 hours.
I typed in "Albert Kalkert "KE 14" " and got those results, it may work for those other type numbers, too. It's really quite easy
to do some "basic research".

Excellent my dears Jemiba and Maveric,

for Ramor,I know it very well,but I don't know the Kalkert KE.14 was for it,and I know the
KE.14 was powered by one De Havilland Gipsy engine.

The A-125 registration was Kalkert Ka.7,

The A-125 registration was Kalkert Ka.7...

But as the Kalkert KE 7 (or 'Ke-7' as Air History has it), not your "Ka.7". Remember, that 'Ka' prefix was for German Nazi-era RLM designations.

BTW, the Aviation Safety Network lists KE 7 A-125 as having been destroyed (without casualties) on Sunday, 22 July 1934. But no other details are given.

Well-known of course, though not mentioned so far in this thread, was the sole designation assigned to Kalkert by the RLM: Ka 430:
