List of FIA licenses by Aéro-Club de France?

Hi Forumites,

I am very interested in a list of the pre-WWI FIA-flight licenses issued by Aéro-Club de France. I hope I can find more info on some of the WWI pilots on this way. Is this kind of list existing in the www?

Are there lists of FIA licenses of other countries (I am aware of the German list) existing in the net? URL?

VBR

Hi Rammjaeger,

There are two seperate Belgian lists, both done, I believe, by our fellow forumite Jempie.
I will show both, as there are some minor discrepancies:

(Just click on First 100 Belgian pilots)
and
http://www.earlyaviators.com/ebelgian.htm

I have a list of Austrian to 1914 and a list of French brevets up to mid-1911.
If you give me your e-mail address, I'll send the lists over.
Regards
Matt.

There is a book published by the Aero Club of France that lists all civil pilot brevets from 1 through??? I am sory I do not have the book with me, but believe me it exists.

The book that Bill mentioned is:

Mémorial des pionnieers de l'aviation 1909/1921, no author, published by ARDHAN (Association pour le Recherche de Documentation sur l'Histoire de l'Aéronautique Navale), September 1998, 444 pages. Subtitled: Brevets délivrés par l'Aéro-Club de France. It is a straight listing by brevet, from 1 to 18666, (Jan 1, 1909 to Dec 31, 1921). There is no index to the names. It gives last name, first name, brevet number and date for all. Until about the beginning of 1915 it gives the country of the individual, their rank, and their service (if military). It also gives the type of aircraft flown for the brevet, until page 227, where it stops with brevet 8776 in the middle of the series for April 3, 1918. Page 328 has the last wartime brevet, nmber 13605, Nov 11, 1918.

I got my copy several years ago from La Maison de Livre Aviation, in Paris. The price on the back is given as 23 Euros.

Frank.
