Title: Does anyone have information on the Austro-Hungarian Air Troops?
Post by: Motherland on May 01, 2010, 11:02:53 PM

I've been looking for information on the K.u.K. Luftfahrtruppen in the First World War but I've been unable to find any. Does anyone know where I could?

I was wondering if Osprey had anything on these pilots, however searching anything I could think of turned up nothing.
However I figured I'd search Godwin Brumowski (Austria-Hungary's top ace) and this turned up.

History of the Fliks? There was a monstrous book published by Flying Machines Press in the USA a few years ago that had all the info on the Austro-Hungarian air services of WW1.

Here's the title of another useful book still available: Air Aces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1914-1918 (Hardcover) by Dr. Martin O'Connor. There are three of them on sale at Amazon UK today, cheapest of them is £185.

Oh, and I'm selling Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces No.46 Austro-Hungarian Aces of World War 1 on eBayUK at the moment, finishes tomorrow evening UK time; it'll be rather less expensive than the O'Connor.
