(Emil Némethy circa 1917)

Emil Némethy was an aviator, aero inventor, seen principally as Hungarian, writing fairly extensively on aviation. He was born (February 17, 1867) in Arad, in the far west of what is now Romania, though this area was Hungarian at the time, and he died (November 6, 1943) in Budapest.[1] He received a degree in mechanical engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (Budapesti Műszaki és Gazdaságtudományi Egyetem), was invited to Japan to introduce European paper-making technologies to his Japanese fellow engineers, at the end of which program, in 1897, he became the director of the paper factory in Arad, all the while dedicating spare time to theoretical and applied approaches to aviation, being the first to use steel tubes in the construction of airplanes.[2] (We have him often as Emile Némethy, or perhaps as "Émile Némethy". These are French-influenced conventions. In his native Hungarian, "Némethy Emil" is incidentally the convention.)
