Denmark Honours Plane Pioneer
Copenhagen, May 14.
Denmark is this year paying tribute to mechanical genius whose boyhood love of kites led him to become one of the world's pioneers of flying.
He is Jacob Christian Ellehammer, who, 50 years ago, on September 12, 1906, succeeded in flying an aircraft of his own construction five weeks before the Brazilian, Santos Dumont, achieved his first flight of 200 feet with a power- driven machine, near Paris, on October 23, 1906,

Ellehammer who died in 1940 at the age of 75, left school with
only an elementary education. An exhibition in his honour, organised by the Royal Danish Acro Club, was opened in the Town Hall here on May 4.
