Company History
The Kargl name has been associated with aircraft since 1921. Gilard Kargl was an Austrian born engineer/scientist and became one of the first men to use aerial photography to construct maps. He approached various oil companies and engineering firms convincing them that he could generate the most accurate maps possible by applying photogrammetry, that is, the science of making accurate measurements from photographs. Contracts in hand, he purchased a WWI military surplus DeHaviland airplane. In 1946, he expanded his business with the purchase of a small fleet of Lockheed P-38 Lightnings, a North American BT-14, and a Fairchild AT-31 Gunner. Gilard Kargl had two sons. One was a Captain in the U.S. Air Force, and the other was an air crash investigator for the U.S. Air Force. Today, the Kargl legacy continues -- and we wouldn't dare tarnish the Kargl name! |
