Lilienthal Gliding Medal was created in 1938.
Otto Lilienthal was a pioneering German aviation engineer and inventor, often referred to as the "father of modern aviation." He was known for his meticulous approach to glider design and flight, conducting over 2,000 flights in his handcrafted gliders. Lilienthal's passion for flight and his extensive documentation of his experiments laid the groundwork for future aviation developments. Tragically, he died in a gliding accident in 1896, but his contributions significantly influenced later aviation pioneers, including the Wright brothers.
