Hellmuth Hirth (1886 – 1938) worked for a short time as a foreman at aviation pioneer August Euler in Darmstadt. However, since Euler had difficulties with his Voisin-type flying machine, Hirth returned to Stuttgart to build himself a Blériot machine. Because of the too weak engine, this did not go beyond small aerial jumps, causing Hirth to go to Vienna to fly the Etrich Taube together with Illner. He then became designer at Rumpler and Gotha, before turning to engine development.
