Dinosaurs FAQs Aviation:There I was...Melli Beese ProjectGuest Book You may never have heard of her. AmelieBeese, known as Melli, was the first woman in Germany to obtain a pilot's license. Some basic facts for you. She was born in September 1886. In1911, aged 25, she passed her flying test in spite of considerable efforts bymale comrades to sabotage her with lighthearted practical jokes likedraining fuel from her tank, loosening control wires, or replacing fresh sparking plugs with clogged ones.Injured in several crashes - not unusual in those days - she went on to constructher own aircraft based on the Rumpler Taube, and build several under license.She started her own flying school, the only one of the day to boast not onesingle serious accident or fatality! Her courage became a legend. She latermarried the French aviator and aircraft constructor, Charles Boutard.Stunningly beautiful, determined and enormously talented, sheattracted many enemies, many of whom could be found amongst the ranks of her ownjealous and envious fellow flyers and comrades.

Whenwar was declared in 1914, Melli Beese, married to a French citizen, was declared anenemy of the state. Her license was rescinded, and her husband was interned forthe duration of the war. Her business at Johannesthal was forcibly closed down,and she was not even permitted to enter the aerodrome area. When hostilities ended in 1918, she was stillconsidered persona non grata, and never permitted to fly again.The marriage disintegrated. Deeply depressed, disillusioned andin complete and utter despair, her courage finally failed her. A few days beforeChristmas in 1925, on the evening of 22 December, she placed the muzzle of arevolver against her temple and pulled the trigger. As I began to delve deeper into researching Melli, she slowly developed froman historical figure, a name in a book with a few faded photographs, to a real,three dimensional, and very special person. She was one of the bravest women of all time, and her storydeserves to be told in full. As a tribute to her, I've been working on a novelbased on her life.If you have any knowledge of her, or if you know of other,unpublished photographs of Melli or people she would have known, I could use any help I canget! It's very difficult to research a lady dead for three quarters of acentury. Nobody who knew her personally is still alive today. I'm specificallytrying to discover the name of the photographer who must have followed all thehappenings in those pre WW-I days at Johannesthal. History is also very vagueabout what later became of her husband, Charles Boutard, whose designfor a single-seat high performance aircraft (MB-Boutard-Monoplace)appears to have been stolen by Fokker and used as a basis for the famousEindecker fighters. Melli's personal and patented design for an entirely feasiblesingle engined flying boat, along with the finished prototype, alsomysteriously disappeared from her workshop after she was arrested. The similaritiesbetween the Melli-Beese Flugyacht and the first Dornier flying boat stretchcoincidence too far...

Left: A model of Charles Boutard's MB-Monoplace. Right: FokkerE-I. Curious resemblance , don't you agree?

The fearful injustices heaped upon Melli Beese and herhusband by the authorities, eventually causing her to take her own life, cannever be put right again. But she has a tale to tell, and she can't do it byherself... If you stumbled onthis page by accident, thank you for taking a few seconds to read thisfar. If you were looking for her deliberately, well, perhaps you'll enjoymy efforts to bring her back for you, if and when my book makes it as far aspublication. I hope so.Please get in touch with me if you think you could help! Michael Graham, July 2001
