The Main Attraction Is The "Gakkel 5"...!
On April 23, 1911, the "First International Aeronautical Exhibition" opened in the Russian capital of St. Petersurg...:
All European nations - leading the Blériot works from France - show their latest developments.
Press reports from that time particularly mention the aircraft type of the Russian designer Jakow Modestowitsch Gakkel (1874 - 1945)....:
His revolutionary flying machine, the "Gakkel 5", can even land on water with innovative wooden floats between which a buoyancy body made of sheet metal is attached!
Das Flugzeug - hier ein Modell - erhält eine besondere Auszeichnung...:
Airships occupy a large part of the exhibition, which lasts until April 27 and is visited by more than a hundred thousand people...
The research of the Russian scientist M. M. Portmorsow on the creation of an absolutely gas-tight fabric is particularly emphasized in the press...
