Aircraft - Aviation - Balloons - Helicopters

Heroine of Aviation in Bitter Distress: Mrs. Tony Werntgen is now 80 years old. When she in 1909 with all her money more than 200.000. Gold Marks founded the first German institution for aviation in the small village Koeppern in the Taunus mountains and was beginning to train pilots and to build planes then she had no idea that she would once live for the remaining last years of her life on the small support and relief of 70. German Marks. The remaining part of her property she had also invested in the construction of the air-port Bonn - Mangelar. Mentally as well as physically Mrs. Werntgen is still strong enough and it remains to be seen if she still once will come in the possession of an allowance of such an amount which she got by the end of the war. This depends, however, on Bonn from where also this case has to be decided. And Bonn is that town where still a street bears the name Werntgen'. Photo shows Her face is speaking much more distinctly than words can do. She was completely bombed out during the war when she also lost her second son. The face which is marked by all the events of this long life also shows much of the disappointment and bitter distress she has to bear
