Avions - Autriche : beaux livres - histoire et modèles

German and Austro-Hungarian Aircraft Manufacturers

Much has been written about the British aircraft of the First World War, but little has surfaced about the aircraft of the Axis powers, Germany and Austria. Here, Terry C. Treadwell tells the story of the aircraft from companies such as Fokker, builder of the famous triplane, as flown by Baron von Richthofen's Flying Circus, AEG, Albatros, Junkers and Hansa.

From reconnaissance aircraft to state-of-the-art bombers that could reach London, this is the definitive guide to aircraft of the Axis powers during the First World War. The aircraft are explained in detail and a history of each company is provided, making this an excellent source book for aircraft enthusiasts, model makers and those interested in the air war over the trenches of France and Belgium, as well as further afield in the Italian campaign.

Die Flugzeuge und Hubschrauber des Österreichischen Bundesheeres (von 1955 bis heute) / Airplanes and Helicopters of the Austrian Armed Forces (from 1955 to Today)

Avec la signature du traité d'État autrichien le 15 mai 1955, la reconstruction de l'armée de l'air autrichienne a commencé. Le 15 juillet 1955, l'Office pour la Défense nationale a été créé, et le 13 septembre, le Département III/L (Air) a été formé sous la direction du Major Josef Bizek.

La naissance officielle des nouvelles forces aériennes a eu lieu le 9 décembre 1955, lorsque le lieutenant-colonel de police Gustav Hauck a décollé à 10h01 avec le Jakowlew Jak-18 (3A-AB), un cadeau de l'Union soviétique, depuis la base aérienne de Brumowski à Langenlebarn. C'était le premier vol d'un appareil portant les marques autrichiennes depuis plus de 17 ans.
L'équipement initial de l'armée fédérale était modeste, composé principalement de dons et de matériel d'occasion acheté à bas prix auprès des anciennes puissances occupantes.

Ce livre de l'expert en aviation Rudolf Höfling documente tous les avions et hélicoptères acquis ou loués par l'armée autrichienne de 1955 à aujourd'hui, y compris le Jakowlew Jak-18, le Bell 47G2, le Saab J 29F Tonne, le Saab 350E Draken et l'Eurofighter EF 2000, avec des textes détaillés et de nombreuses illustrations.

Die k. u. k. Luftfahrtruppen - Zur Geschichte von Österreich-Ungarns 'Luftakrobaten'

Although the Danube Monarchy had been one of the leading states in the field of aviation in the years before 1914, it was only possible to send air companies into the field with great effort when the war broke out. Because the aircraft available was not suitable for war, aircraft and engines had to be bought in a hurry from the allied Germany.
In 1915, it was finally possible to boost aircraft production and pilot training. Towards the end of the war, however, the general economic exhaustion of Austria-Hungary and the superiority of the Allies became noticeable.

In this book, Walter Blasi and Bernhard Tötschinger create a unique monument to the Imperial and Royal Aviation Corps. They outline the history of these young troops and have compiled a large number of previously unpublished images. The result is a fascinating depiction of this previously barely documented part of Austro-Hungarian military history.

From the contents:
- The beginning of military aviation "heavier than air" in the Danube Monarchy;
- Camillo Castiglioni - the master of the aviation industry;
- The heroes of the skies;
- The naval pilots of the Imperial and Royal Navy;
- The aircraft factories in Austria-Hungary;
- What was left of the Imperial and Royal Aviation Corps.
