Abstract

“Inönü air camp will start working on July 5 this year and this camp will end on October 1, 1937, where about 150 young people will participate.” In this camp, which lasted for 3 months, the young people who participated in the training were fitted with a badge of aviation, and these camps were an important cornerstone for Turkish aviation history and aviation education. The “Vecihi Civil Aviation School”, which was opened in 1932 by Vecihi Hürkuş, an important name for Turkish aviation, will be the starting point for this issue.

The importance Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and Ismet inönü gave to aviation has made these camps important.
