Postovani prijatelji,
vreme je da se svi potrudimo da svetu pokazemo nasu lepu bogatu kulturu, umetnost i istoriju. Da ne bude zabune zasto vam se obracam precicu odma na stvar. Slucajno gledajuci neke kjige u jednoj od najbolje opremljenih biblioteka u SAD , na Kent Univerzitetu(poznat po protestu protiv rata u Vijetnamu kada su i neki studenti ubijeni) u drzavi Ohajo, ostao sam zaprepascen. Pa Srbija(I Jug.)kao da ne postoje i da nikad nisu postojale.O istoriji nase aviatike da i ne govorimo! Kako drzavu Ohajo zovu „birth place of aviation“, biblioteka je naravno prepuna informacija o Avio istoriji i te informacije koriste svi oni ćro klubovi,autori knjiga i sajtova,itd. Naravno ni reci o nama. Nema nas cak ni u knjigama gde su navedeni svi svetski proizvodjaci aviona!
Da bi ironija bila jos veca na nekim od najvecih sajtova ponosno se vijori sahovnica sa naslovom tipa „History of Hrvatsko Zrakoplovstvo“ Nas jadni, bog da mu dusu prosti, Mihajlo Petrovic se prevrce u grobu! Shvatio da smo i mi dosta sami krivi pa sam resio da uputim pisma autorima knjiga i sajtova gde sam ih obavestio ukratko o nasoj istoriji uz pitanje da dali ti podaci nisu vazni da se nadju kod njih.
Naravno da su mi odgovorili (sto sa nasim ljudima nije slucaj)i gde kazu da ih niko nije informisao o tim podacima.(silni strucnjaci) Aj’d sta sad, hajde da ih informisemo! Ali kako sam ja TV.snimatelj i moje namere su pre svega patriotske, molim vas da mi pomognete,a i ja vama! Sajtova ima pnogo pa bi bilo dobro da obavestite nase ljude da ih traze i da im salju poruke(ja cu vam poslati moju na engleskom pa je vi kopirajte i saljite).
Uzgred sajt vam je odlican samo molim vas uradite i cirilicnu veziju to nama u dijaspori mnogo znaci!
Evo sta kaze gospodin John Hayles, Editor ćroflight – The Aviation Enthusiasts Website:
Yes, I fully agree that the proud history of Serbian Aviation should be covered properly on my website.
The website started off covering just the current aircraft inventory and order of battle or each country, but in the last couple of years this has been expanded to cover the complete aviation history of the country from the beginning.
Since it takes me several months to do each country, I can only work on four or five countries each year. The greater the aviation history the longer it takes to research and write. Sometimes I get help from people who have information about a specific country, which speeds things up a lot. There are many countries still to be updated, and I haven’t reached Serbia yet.
The Serbia update would of course include a full history of it’s air arms, full details of all aircraft used since the early days, air bases used, orders of battle and the history of all flying units since the beginning, aircraft markings etc…
Perhaps, if you were interested in contributing to this project, I could make Serbia a top priority in the ‘to do’ list.
The ćroflight website receives an average of 34,000 hits per week at the moment, much more than virtually any other non-pilot orientated aviation website, so your work would be appreciated by a lot of readers (including Serbs, as I get a huge number of international visitors).
Please let me know what you think about this idea.
Evo sta kaze gospodin Jim Streckfuss:
I would certainly agree that something about the Serbian contribution to WWI aviation would be appropriate to have on our site. I suppose the problem has been that there hasn’t been anyone involved with the organization with sufficient knowledge of Serbian aviation to provide the information. That is, until now. With your permission, I would like to have our managing editor and the web master of our site (Al Roesler and Jeff Koppe) take a look at what you sent with an eye toward adapting the WWI portion of it for use on overthefront.com. I’ve copied both on this message so they can see what you had to write.
Thank you very much for the information on Serbian aviation. Jim Streckfuss
