Ignaz Stiefsohn (April 26, 1911- August 3, 1936) was an Austrian aviator who led the Austrian gliding team in the 1936 Olympics.[1] Stiefsohn worked for the 1st Aviation Regiment of the Theresian Military Academy and was one of the earliest aviators in Austria to practice gliding, even leading his own gliding school.[2]
On August 3, 1936, during a gliding demonstration at the Germany Summer Olympics, the wing of Stiefsohn's glider broke. Unable to deploy his parachute in time, Stiefsohn died in the crash.[3]
