DM in 1909 ???? !!!!

[edit]

How on earth could the affair have costed 3,000,000 DM when that currency did not come into existence until nearly 50 years after? If it's supposed to be a modern comparison, then it should of course be in Euros.

World's first airline?

[edit]

Rufus Porter might've disagreed with you on whether DELAG was actually the first overall. But it was probably the first to fly something in revenue service...68.36.214.143 (talk) 18:13, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Porter: In A.D. 1849, history was beginning.
DELAG: What happen ?
Gold Rusher: Somebody set up us the blimp.
Spectator: We tear apart.
Porter: What!
Spectator: Big blimp tear apart.
Porter: It's you!!
DELAG: How are you Americans!!
DELAG: All your first are belong to us.
DELAG: You are on the way to bankruptcy.
Porter: What you say!!
DELAG: You have no money to emerge make your time.
DELAG: Ha Ha Ha Ha ....
Gold Rusher: Porter!! *
Porter: Take off every 'ZEP'!!
Porter: You know what you flying.
Porter: Move 'ZEP'.
Porter: For big history.

Don't know how early to start scheduling DYK hooks, but world first airline is pretty good. I'm trying to find world/US first airline passenger. Thanks, L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 03:00, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Compagnie générale transaérienne

[edit]

Every source seems to list DELAG as the world's first airline. However, Compagnie générale transaérienne was founded in October 10, 1909, over a month before DELAG. Though, some sources mention DELAG's founding day as October 16 or October 1st. If last is correct, then it would precede CGT.--Mikoyan21 (talk) 14:19, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
