By promotion of the books, the publisher, Odbrana Media Centre, joined the celebration of the great anniversary – 100 years of Serbian military aviation. The Serbs, we can recall, got war wings very early. At the same time when the air forces of the leading states were emerging, the Air Force Command of the Serbian Armed Forces was formed on 24 December 1912. Thus, Serbia was on the list of 15 countries that had planes in military applications. Serbia is also one of the first five countries in the world that used aircraft in combat during the siege of Skadar in 1913.
