Wings of the Great War

In 1916, air bases in Lemnos, Stavros and Thassos safeguard sea routes and attack enemy forces. Early bombing missions and aerial combat showcase the skills of aviators like Lieutenants Dunning and Kinkead.

Lemnos transforms into a major air support centre; New airports in Thessaloniki and Drama aid against Bulgaria; German ace Rudolf von Eschwege gains prominence on the Macedonian front.

Examines Greek air raids, Zeppelin sightings and the loss of Lieutenant Commander Argyropoulos, the first Greek aviation hero.

Greek Squadron Z forms and bombs Istanbul in 1917. The Thassos airport is bombed by German forces. Lieutenant Moraitinis leads, while the death of ace Eschwege marks a turning point in the war.

In 1918, Lemnos and Imbros serve as the base for the largest airborne operation of World War I. An operation to sink warships, this event is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the time.

As the Great War begins in 1914, European armies mobilize; airplanes are introduced to restore flexibility and extend the war to the skies, impacting the battles from the very start.
