Very Good Turkish Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24,5 x 17 cm). In Turkish. 101 p., many unnumbered b/w plates. Yunus Nadi was a renowned Turkish journalist and the founder of the newspaper Cumhuriyet. This rare book is a travel book published in 1930 by the founder and deputy of Cumhuriyet newspaper Yunus Nadi, who will take the surname Abalioglu with the surname law enacted in 1934. His articles in this book, in which he conveyed his impressions of his 49-hour long voyage over Europe in 1929 with the airship called Graf Zeppelin, were actually serialized in chapters in Cumhuriyet newspaper in 1929. As stated in the book, the articles were sent to the newspaper by telegram available on the Graf Zeppelin during this voyage. Nadi, who made a trip on Lake Constance with Dornier X aircraft before the zeppelin journey, tells the readers how difficult it was to find tickets for the Zeppelin journey, whose tickets were sold out days ago. Nadi, who finally came to the city of Friedrichshafen after finding a ticket, started his Zeppelin journey on 21 October 1929. In the further steps of the journey, which continues first to Munich and then further south to Vienna, this time it returns to Friedrichshafen from the route of Hungary and the Czech Republic, over Balkan cities such as Sofia and Bucharest. Yunus Nadi, who wanted to get off at Breslav on the return route and continue his trip to Berlin by train, had to get off in Friedrichshafen due to the weather conditions. From the very beginning of the zeppelin journey, and especially when they approached Sofia, he insisted why to stop by Istanbul on the route. The work decorated with many details, from the service in the Zeppelin to the interior design of the airship, with a rich and literary expression ends up with a "lahika" (i.e. appendix) called "Miscellaneous articles on the aviation", which consists of articles previously published in the Cumhuriyet newspaper, most of which belong to Yunus Nadi. First and Only Edition. Rare.

Sükrü Ali Ögel was born in 1886 and In 1909, he graduated from the Military Academy as a lieutenant. He was commandant of the 25th Division of the Ottoman Army in 1915. He served on the Western Front Staff Committee in the Turkish War of Independence. On December 25, 1926, he was appointed as the National Police Service Director, where he participated in the foundation studies. "The history of Turkish military aviation dates back to 1909 when French aviators were invited to Istanbul to perform demonstrations and the Ottoman High Command began with studies in this field. On December 2 the same year, Turkish skies welcomed the first ever aircraft, when, upon the invitation of the Minister of War, Mahmut Sevket Pasha, a Belgian pilot named Baron de Catters came to Istanbul and performed an exhibition flight with his Voisin biplane. At the end of 1910, a decision was made by the Ottoman High Command to send officers to Europe to be trained as pilots; however due to the financial difficulties faced the Empire at that time, this plan had to be postponed. Only a handful of Turkish students residing in Paris attended flight schools and obtained their certificates there. Mahmut Sevket Pasha could anticipate the importance of military aviation [.] When the Ottoman Empire entered the World War, it had only seven planes and ten pilots available. As soon as the Empire found itself in war, the Russians launched an offensive in the Caucasus front and the Third Army stationed there requested aircraft that would fly reconnaissance flights. Two Bleriot planes named Edremit and Tarik bin Ziyad to be flown by Fesa Bey and Salim Bey were loaded on a transport ship, which was eventually sunk by Russians. The aircraft were lost and the pilots were taken prisoner, ending up in prisoner camps in Siberia. Responding to a request from the Ottoman High Command, a number of German pilots visited the Ottoman Air Force in 1915 and Turkish officers began to be sent to Germany for flight training. At the same time, Cpt. Erich Serno from the German Air Force was given the task of reforming the Turkish military aviation. He came with 12 planes, pilots, technicians, and he was appointed as the director of the Flight School. In those early years of the war, there were serious problems with regard to the transportation of the planes from Germany to Turkey. Germany was in war with Serbia, whereas Bulgaria and Romania remained neutral, which meant that the land routes were blocked. For this reason, aircraft were taken to Southern Hungary by train and then flown to Turkey. It was only after Serbia was defeated and Bulgaria entered the war on the side of the Central Powers that these logistics problems were solved. German contribution in terms of both aircraft and pilots pl
Fine Turkish Original b/w photograph. 8,5x13,5 cm. Shows Yildiz Eruçman and twelve male parachutists and aviators, an aircraft wing with its shadow on the surface. Yildiz Kayalar Eruçman was the first Turkish female parachutist. She was born in Thessaloniki, Kingdom of Greece in 1919. Her family was of Turkish descent, and according to the Population exchange agreement between Turkey and Greece, her family moved to Turkey and settled in Izmir in 1924. In 1934, after the Surname Law, the family assumed the surname Kayalar. Eruçman is her surname by marriage. In 1935, after reading an article in a foreign periodical about female pilots, she applied to the training center of the Turkish Aeronautical Association in Ankara. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's adopted daughter and aviator Sabiha Gökçen personally concerned herself with Eruçman's training. Together with three other women in the training center, namely Edibe Subasi, Nezihe Viranyali, and Sahavet Karapas, she received her aviation certificate. On 4 October 1935, she parachuted from a Soviet-made aircraft of type Polikarpov R-5. She was the first-ever female skydiver in Turkey. In later years, she continued in the same association as a trainer. However, her profession was not officially acknowledged. So, her title was "minaret worker", which was considered one of the most dangerous occupations of that time. A fine and extremely rare image.
