Friherre baron Carl Gustav Alexander Cederström (5 March 1867 – 29 June 1918) was a pioneering Swedish aviator, known as "the flying Baron".
Biography
He was born on 5 March 1867 to the baron Anders Cederström and the baroness Maria Cecilia Wennerström in Södertälje, Sweden and he was baptized in Stockholm.[1]
Cederström completed the program at the Blériot flying school in 1910. He became the 74th pilot in the world and the first to receive a certificate in Sweden. The next person in Sweden to qualify was Henrik David Hamilton. Cederström began teaching others to fly himself in 1912, opening a flying school near Linköping.[2]
Cederström died on 29 June 1918 with Carl Gustaf Krokstedt when their plane crashed in the Gulf of Bothnia.[3]
