Although nor completely preserved, this construction is one of the oldest German powered aircraft. Karl Vollmoller (1878-1948) designed the aircraft, and his brother, Hans, flew it. The first flight for 300 meters, 6 meters above the ground took place in April of 1910 near Stuttgart. An accident on 14. April 1910 which killed a spectator ended the brothers aircraft construction.
