Çanakkale Zaferi’nden Sonra Batı Anadolu’da Havacılık Faaliyetleri (1915-1918)

The Ottoman Empire actively fought on many fronts from the Caucasus to Iraq, from the Suez Canal to Çanakkale. Apart from these fronts, the Ottoman forces were also active in areas where there was no effective fight by taking active/passive defense measures. Being under the threat of the British and French navy just off the Western Anatolia coast, and also having the assistance of the Allied Forces to carry out air operations with aircraft carriers wherever they wanted, led to the deployment of aviation units by the Ottoman Commander-in-Chief in the relevant regions. The aim was both to ensure the security of the capital Istanbul and to take measures against possible landing operations with the air troops in Gallipoli against the possibility that the Allied forces would make a landing over Gallipoli or Izmir after the Battle of Gallipoli. Using archival documents, this study examines the aviation operations carried out in Western Anatolia after the Çanakkale Victory
