Sorry, this is not Otto himself. I took the foto `78 at the first "Otto Lilienthal Memorial" at the Wasserkuppe. Michael Platzer ( later designer of the "Kiebitz" Microlight] had built a Lilienthal Doppeldecker Replica, and flown in front of hundreds of spectators on the Wasserkuppe "Kleiner Westhang". Amazing. Same L/D as the Dragonfly Clones those days, but, somehow limited control. ( Who ever survived the dragonflys, maybe knows better....) |

Il est réellement le père de l'activité vol libre et nous devrions tous avoir une pensée pour lui avant chaque décollage, pour lui offrir le vol que nous allons faire ! Respect Monsieur Lilienthal. |
