K.W. (Wilhelmshafen) No.945

   The Naval Shipyard at Wilhelmshafen built a small number of prototype seaplanes, none of which were produced in quantity. One prototype built there was the K.W. No.945, a two-seat naval fighter clearly inspired by the Brandenburg W12. It was powered by a 150 hp Benz Bz.III engine, a powerplant used by many Brandenburg W12s. Other than its engine, few details survive.

Kaiserliche Werften Type 462
  
  The Kaiserliche Werften Type 462 was built at Kaiserliche Werft Wilhelmshaven (two aircraft, Marine numbers 461 & 462) and KW Kiel (four aircraft, Marine numbers 463-466). These were unarmed, two-seat trainers powered by 150 hp Benz Bz.III engines. They were conventional, two-bay biplanes with the wire-braced, fabric-covered wood structures typical for the time but cleanly designed. The photos show that the interplane bracing of #461 differed notably from that used on #462 and #463.

Kaiserliche Werften Type 467

  The Kaiserliche Werften Type 467 was built at Kaiserliche Werft Danzig (four aircraft, Marine numbers 467-470). These were unarmed, two-seat trainers powered by 150 hp Benz Bz.III engines. They were conventional, two-bay biplanes with the wire-braced, fabric-covered wood structures typical for the time. These Danzig-built floatplanes were supplied to the nearby naval base at Putzig.

J.Herris - German Seaplanes of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (15)
Marine #461 on a beaching dolly; its interesting cabane and interplane bracing differed significantly from that used by Marine #462 and #463, which followed the SVK drawing of the type. It was built by Kaiserliche Werft Wilhelmshaven.

Marine Number 462 was one of two built by Kaiserliche Werft Wilhelmshaven; the four aircraft built by Kaiserliche Werft Kiel to similar design differed in detail.

Marine #462 appears to be similar in configuration as #463 but does not carry the standard late-war naval camouflage worn by #463. The radiator is offset to starboard on #461-463, whereas the SVK drawing shows the radiator on the centerline. The profile of the rudder and fin on #462 is similar to #461 but differs significantly from #463, and none look like the SVK drawing.

Marine #463, carrying standard late-war naval camouflage, shows its clean lines for a float biplane. The four Kiel-built aircraft were delivered to the naval air station at Kiel-Holtenau. The type was also known as W10.
