Albert Francis Lenertz (1891-1943) joined A.H.F.N. Appleroth's company, Traders Ltd, (later the Aeroplane Jelly Company) as a partner in 1926. Albert Lenertz composed the music and in 1930 wrote the song for the company's very successful product, Aeroplane Jelly. It was first recorded in 1930 sung by Amy Rochelle, an actress who did child imitations. This recording is probably sung by her and is dated 1936. The 'Aeroplane Jelly Song' was to be the longest-running advertising jingle in Australian history.
