Austrian and Italian pilots

MattyBoy · 22 December 2004, 02:59 PM

Hi all,

Probably not the right place for this question, but....

Does anyone know where I might obtain a list of Austrian and/or Italian pilot licences and dates (mainly before WW1)?
I know I've asked about pilot brevets before, but I am hooked on finding out about these pioneers and when they got their certificates. It more-or-less signifies the start of their careers.
Any books with this information perhaps ?

I've put this question on the 'Other WW1 Aviation' list just in case I get any more information.

Thanks.
Matt.

Dear Matt,
there was a book about the Italian Pioneers ("Album dei Pionieri della Aviazione Italiana", Roma 1982, about the airmen licensed before August 1914), but
unfortunately, it's out of stock from years. If you need data about particulars pilots, perhaps I can help you.
In the same way, for the Austrian side, I can check the book "Ósterreichs Luftfahrzeuge" written by Richerd Keimel (H. Weisaupt Verlag - Graz, 1981)
