BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES - 1
Hello Ralphvia email from Eduardo Dargent, 7-25-09 There is another early Peruvian pilot, Carlos Tenaud, of whom I would like to write some lines. He intended to build an ornithopter in 1905. He failed but the government sent him to study flying in France. He returned at the same time as Bielovucic, each with a plane. Tenaud was very unlucky and his plane got tangled in some electric wires. The poor young man died a very slow death after several months at his parents home in lima |

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES - 2
Hello Ralphvia email from Eduardo Dargent, 10-2-09 Carlos Tenaud was the son od Julio Tenaud and Maria Luisa del Pomar. His name in Spanish then is CARLOS TENAUD DEL POMAR. As I am Eduardo Dargent Chamot. In Spanish the mothers maiden name is used second so you can adress me as Eduardo Dargent or if more formally you can use the two family names. So you can call him Carlos Tenaud or Carlos Tenaud del Pomar but NEVER "Carlos del Pomar". |

by Sara Madueño Paulet de Vásquez "The Dec. 7, 1910, edition of Ilustracíon Peruana), was dedicated, for example, to reporting on the 1908 construction of the first Peruvian monoplane. The building of this 36-foot monoplane, was carried out by Peruvian engineer Carlos Tenaud Pomar, at the School of Arts and Trades. Educated at the Carnot Lyceum in France, Tenaud came to Lima with Paulet, to collaborate on his project for the school." If time permits, I think you will want to read the entire article. |
