Aeroplane Monthly 2000-07 / O.Hansen - 25 years of "Denmark's Shuttleworth" /Rare birds/

Danes like to claim that Jacob Christian Ellehammer made the first flight in Europe in 1906, although historian Charles Gibbs-Smith’s description of the attempt as a tethered hop-flight is perhaps more accurate. Nonetheless, it was quite an achievement in those years. This replica of Ellehammer’s semi-biplane of 1906 type was donated to the museum. It is taxied, but no-one would know what to do if it actually became airborne!
