Danske Aeronautiske Selskab

The Danske Aeronautiske Selskab or Danish Aeronautical Society was formed in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 20 Jan. 1909, to study the general science of aeronautics and aviation. It was admitted to the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) at the FAI meeting 30 Sept. 1909. In 1926, the prefix Kongelige or Royal was added to the name of the society. In 1930 the name was changed to Kongelig Dansk Aeroklub and under that name the organization observed its 100th anniversary in 2009. The club still exists.

At an inaugural meeting on 20 Jan. 1909 of approximately 30 participants with N. Neergaard, the Danish Minister of Commerce in charge, the Danske Aeronautiske Selskab was formed with Neergaard as its first president.
