Friherre Carl Gustav Alexander Cederström (5 March 1867 – 29 June 1918) was a pioneering Swedish aviator.

Biography

Cederström was born to Anders Cederström and Maria Cecilia (née) Wennerström in Södertälje, and he was baptized in Stockholm. [ International Genealogical Index and tombstone ]

The first successful flight in Sweden was achieved by a French aviator on 19 July 1909. Cederström received a French certificate for aviation in 1910 from the Blériot flying school, to become the 74th pilot in the world. He was followed by Hugo Sundstedt, who was the second in Sweden to fly, and the first to receive a certificate issued in Sweden.

Also in 1910, the first Swedish-built aircraft, the "Grasshopper", took flight. The plane was a modified Blériot XI built in Landskrona in southern Sweden by Hjalmar Nyrop and Oscar Ask.

In 1912 Cederström started a flight school with four military students at Malmen, near Linköping. The following summer he left Malmen, and his hangars were taken over by the Swedish Army. [ [http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=449 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics - History - Sweden ] at www.aiaa.org] The former flight school became the first permanent base for Army aviators.

Cederström perished in an accident on 29 June 1918, as his plane went down in the Gulf of Bothnia.
