The flights of tirese machines astounded the thousands of spectators who had gathered to watch. What did these observers drink of this new technology? Did they believe that these machines simply provided a platform for stunts or did drey believe that they had serious implicadons for mankind or, more specifically, for the Ottoman Empire? At that time, no one drought, of course, to poll the spectators on their reactions to drese flying machines. Indeed, to my knowledge, the recollecdons of only one such spectator have been published. By spectators I mean the subjects of the Ottoman Empire-Turks, Greeks, Armenians, Arabs Escort Uo To Aircraft others-for there were also many foreigners, that is, Europeans, present. These latter lived mainly In the large European colony in the Pera, modem Beyoğlu, section of Istanbul. This was the commercial hub of the city, where powerful foreign banks and embassies were located. Their reports of these flights provide a unique insight into the impression that they made on dtose who witnessed them. Turkish was, of course, not only the language of the dominant and ruling element of tire Ottoman Empire, but it was also widely understood among various minority groups within the state[ 1 ]. Accordingly, Turkish newspapers were the most numerous and had tire widest circulation. With respect to Turkish newspapers, I shall concentrate on the three leading dailies inwhich, in order of importance, were the following: İkdam, Tanin, and Yeni Tasvîr-i Efkâr. I shall also add a few details from Yeni Gazetewhich was representative of the second tier of Turkish newspapers[ 2 ]. Founded inİkdam was devoted to politics, economic issues and literature. Its circulation in was about 40,[ 3 ]. It was above all a political paper[ 4 ]. The old newspaper Tasvîr-i Escort Uo To Aircraft was reestablished as Yeni New Tasvîr-i Efkâr in by one of the most important Turkish journalists of the time, Ebüzziya Tevfik. This newspaper described itself as a journal of independent opinion and supporter of continuous progress. It soon became critical of the CUP[ 5 ]. Yeni Gazete generally focused on politics. The average circulation of Tanin and was at least Escort Uo To Aircraft, Ingreater Istanbul had a population of perhaps a bit more than half a million, but most of this population was illiterate. Among these newspapers, Yeni Tasvîr-i Efkâr devoted tire most attention to aviation and the flights of de Caters and Blériot. Many of the articles in Yeni Tasvîr-i Efkâr on this subject are signed with tire initials V. No articles on aviation in any of the other Turkish papers cited in this study are signed. It is worth noting that Velid Ebüzziya and his older brother Talha set up a darkroom for photography, effectively the first for an Istanbul newspaper, in and in the same year Velid apparendy took the first aerial photographs of Istanbul[ 6 ]. Yeni Tasvîr-i Efkâr' s extensive coverage of the flights of are translated in full in the Appendix. As for newspapers published by foreigners or European interests, the most important was The Levant Herald. It was established by a Bridsh subject, with the help of the Bridsh Embassy, in and ran until It concentrated on uade and diplomádé issues between the European powers and the Ottoman Empire. At that time, French was the language of trade and diplomacy for the European colony. Indeed, even the Ottoman high society in Beyoğlu spoke Escort Uo To Aircraft and imitated Parisian social graces. The Levant Herald took a great, but rather different, interest in the flights of de Caters and, above all, Blériot. Apart from this different emphasis, its accounts of these flights add further details to those of the Turkish press and help complete the picture of those events. In order to compare and contrast the Turkish view of the significance of these flights with the European, I have also included a full translation of the reports of The Levant Herald in the same appendix[ 7 ]. I have supplemented this newspaper with a few references from the Moniteur Orientalwhich began in as the Oriental Advertiser and continued through Init too was published in French with English summaries and concentrated on economic and political issues, but promoted French and Greek interests[ 8 ]. The narrative of the flights of Baron de Caters and Blériot given below is a synthesis of the reports from all these newspapers, but Yeni Tasvîr-i Efkâr and The Levant Herald provide the heart of the story, the former especially for de Caters and the latter for Blériot. As the twentieth century began, Sultan Abdülhamid II was completing a quarter-century as the absolute monarch of the Ottoman Empire. He had come to power in following a Financial crisis left to him by his predecessors who had spent enormous sums and borrowed heavily to build an army and navy strong enough to fend off the European powers and preserve the integrity of the empire. The result was bankruptcy, and in Abdülhamid officially handed the finances of the Ottoman Empire over to European investors who were to administer the Ottoman Public Debt. Meanwhile, the European powers continued to chip away at Ottoman territory. Austria occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina in and Britain took control of Egypt in At the same time, internally, nationalism spread among more and more minority groups in both the European and Asian provinces of the state.

They quickly filled the viewing stands and invaded the grassy areas. At about European time , he quickly carried out his first attempt at flight. A row of soldiers was lined up on each side of the field. The princes took a special interest in the aircraft and asked the Baron many questions about it[ 22 ]. Tickets for this exhibit were on sale at the site. Musashi took an active part in the Battle of the Philippine Sea June , but did not enter into a firefight with American units. The propeller that was driven by the motor seemed to be hidden from sight, from its first revoludon, by the giant wings, but in any case the speed of its revoludons prevented one from seeing it. Neverdteless, his impending arrival in Istanbul electrified the European colony, especially, of course, the French. Latham, whose early attempt to cross the English Channel had ended in failure, used his same single-planed vahîdü'1-satha machine to fly for two hours and thirteen minutes and travel a distance of kilometers, and thus took second place. During , they had a series of very great successes. The Japanese Battleship Musashi. The Agano was a Japanese light cruiser, the keel of which was laid in , launched in October , and commissioned in the Imperial Japanese Navy in October At that time, no one drought, of course, to poll the spectators on their reactions to drese flying machines. By the time the flying machine was ready, it was ala turka i. He was busy until evening with such tilings as setting the screws and wires, putting the cloth covering in order, and making minor adjustments. Meanwhile, Mrs. It had come to rest there after tearing through the roof of the house and shattering many windows. Before our local press has had time to publish the necessary explAviation of the nature and importance of flying machines for the people of Istanbul, we will have had the great fortune of watching, one after another within a short time, two famous European flyers rise above the horizons of our city not in lighter-than-air, large, spheres full of hydrogen like balloons, but by flying in several heavier-than-air, and relatively small, machines. The machine certainly went off in a dangerous direction i. One could perhaps agree that all the people of Istanbul were ignorant of this, but we are of course aggrieved at such a situation that reflects poorly on our venerable and well-known hospitality. The time between the first successful ascent in Europe with flying machines and the recent first place award to Henri Farman at the Reims air races August, can be divided into four periods with respect to the development of the aforesaid machines.

Baron de Caters removed his aeroplane from the shed at ala franga and then, while tire people watching were in a state of great excitement, he flew it.
