Karl Jatho (February 3, 1873 - December 8, 1933) was a German pioneer and inventor, performer and public servant of the city of Hanover.
From August through November of 1903, Jatho ( b3 Fe. 1873 - d 8 Dec. 1933) made progressively longer hops in a pusher triplane, then biplane, at Vahrenwalder Heide outside of Hanover. His longest flight, however, was only 60 meters at 3-4 meters altitude. Jatho eventually gave up, noting "in spite of many efforts, (I) cannot make longer or higher flights. Motor weak." [Gibbs-Smith, C. H. The Aeroplane: An Historical Survey, pp. 319-320]. With a later machine, Jatho would make successful flights around 1909.
He founded a flying school and a plane factory, but did not have much success.
