All Aero

Peruvian engineer Carlos Tenaud Pomar (1884-1911) built the first Peruvian monoplane. It crashed after a low test flight, but the government sent him to study flying in France, where he qualified for his license (No. 298). He brought a Blériot back to Peru, but soon had an accident, on 2 February 1911. He crashed after hitting electrical power lines and received back injuries that led to his painful death seven months later.
