John Wilckens was an aeronautical inventor, and Engineer filing from No. 8, Gossler Strasse, Hamburg, Empire of Germany.[1] We also have him described as a Merchant.[2] His work which we have onhand features an airship, oddly once titled “Aéroplane”[3], which may have had hybrid characteristics. There is an emphasis on the aircraft's balloons acting in the furtherance of equilibrium and stability, but niether in the diagrams nor anywhere else is there any indication that this vessel was an “Airplane”. It may have had small wings.
