"This is not *entirely* correct". In Aalborg (the city I live in), there
is a large area officially called "Andeby". I believe it's pretty close
to where Thomas Pryds Lauritsen lives actually...

"This is not *entirely* correct". In Carpi/Gatto's "Paperino e la giubba
spaziale" (I TL 548-A) from 1966 Donald actually tries to fly (on his
own) in the end of the story and fails to do so. See a scan here:

The text goes:
US: Well?! What are you waiting for?
DD: I can't take off, must have eaten too much.
Anyway, my point is only, that one can "prove" just about anything
depending on which story is picked.
Best,
Søren
