     On October 27, 1998, Kaman Corporation (the "Company") filed
a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-66179) to

par value $1.00 per share (the "Class A Common Stock") for
issuance in connection with the Company's 1993 Stock Incentive

     Pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, this Post-
Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement is
being filed in order to deregister and withdraw from registration

     Concurrently with the filing of this Post Effective
Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement, the Company
is also filing a new registration statement on Form S-8 (the "New
Registration Statement").  The New Registration Statement relates
to the registration of the offer and sale of 2,000,000 shares of
the Company's Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms
of the Company's 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, which is the
successor to the Company's 1993 Plan.  Pursuant to General
Instruction E of Form S-8 and related interpretations of the
staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the Carryover Shares (and the related
registration fee previously paid in connection therewith) are
being carried forward to the Company's New Registration
Statement.
