The Klemm L 26, later Klemm Kl 26, was a low-wing trainer aircraft built by Klemm.
The L 26 was a larger, reinforced development of the Klemm L 25. [1]
Like the L 25, the L 26 was a single engined low-wing monoplane with fixed conventional landing gear. Most variants were two-seaters with tandem open cockpits.
The L 26 was first flown in 1928 and entered production the following year and was produced until 1936. [2] The L 26 was also produced in the United States by Aeromarine-Klemm as the AKL-26. [3]
In 1931, Oskar Dinort won the Deutschlandflug [ de ] in an L 26 Va. [4] Other notable pilots of the L 26 included Ernst Udet and Elly Beinhorn. [5]
This is an incomplete list.
Of the 170 aircraft built in Germany, only one survived World War II, and that aircraft no longer exists. However, an American-built AKL-26 is on display in a dismantled state at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in Red Hook, New York. [8]

Wartime production totalled only five prototypes and some 20 production machines before the Klemm factory was destroyed by Allied bombing. Following World War II and the lifting of aviation restrictions on Germany, production recommenced in 1955 with a modernised version, the Kl 107B, of which Klemm built a small series before selling all rights to the design to Bölkow. This firm further revised the design and built it as the Kl 107C before using it as the basis for their own Bo 207.
