First years [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] His father was an egg merchant of L’Aia. In 1909, upon the death of the mother, he decided to enlist, managing to enter as cadet in the Koninklijke Militaire Academie of Breda. In 1911 he became lieutenant. During his stay in the armed forces, his interest in aviation grew more and more. In 1915 he was transferred to the newborn Luchtvaartafdeeling, the Dutch military aviation, even if assigned to land. In the same year, visiting the Soesterberg air base, he met the pilot W. Versteegh, under whose guide he became pupil pupil in 1917. Versteegh focused a lot on him, but Plesman understood that what he was interested was not the flight itself. During the First World War, where the Netherlands remained neutral, Plesman had the idea of \u200b\u200borganizing an air mail service with the United Kingdom. On December 27, 1917 he married Susanna “Sutus” Van Eijk, originally from Gouda. From their union three children were born, Albert, Jan and Hans, and a daughter, Pia. In 1918 he began, together with M.L.J. Hofstee, to think of a way to increase the interest of the Dutch public opinion towards the aviation, in particular the civil one. The result was the First air traffic exhibition Amsterdam ( First aeronautical performance of Amsterdam ), an aerial event that lasted from 1 August to 14 September 1919, with over 100 planes present and which was visited by over 500 000 people.

After the invasion of the Netherlands, several KLM workers managed to escape to Great Britain, where they founded a small business. On 9 May 1941 Plesman was arrested by the Germans and transferred to the Scheveningen prison. Plesman was released on April 11, 1942, and with his wife he moved near Enchede, where he began working on the reconstruction plans of the KLM.
