Abstract
It is shown that the necessary and sufficient condition that an algebraically special vacuum solution be of the (generalized) Kerr-Schild form is that it have a preferred Killing vector. The transformation is applied to a known type-III solution to obtain a type-II vacuum solution of Einstein's equations.
