Özet:

Vecihi Hürkuş is one of the best known names in Turkish aviation history. It has performed many services in Turkish aviation history and has achieved many firsts. Because of this importance, Vecihi Bey's life and activities have been one of the most studied topics in popular literature. In fact, by some people and segments, it has become a taboo and seen as untouchable and uncritical. Vecihi Hürkuş is a true hero with his services, but he is not the only hero in Turkish aviation history, nor is he uncritical. One of the firsts realized by Vecihi Bey in Turkish aviation history is the opening of the first civil pilot school. In the school where he used the planes he produced, he tried to train willing young people as pilots. Although the school faced many difficulties to continue its activities, it succeeded in participating in August 30 Victory Day in 1934 with its own planes and students. Towards the end of 1934, the Vecihi Civil Aircraft School was captured by the General Staff. As a justification for this, it has been shown that civil aviation activities will continue with a larger scale of state support. In this study, Vecihi Hürkuş's narratives about the civil aviation school will be analyzed comparatively with archive documents, written works and press sources of the period. The period between 1932 and 1934 will be coveresafir Çd, only the pilot school and its ethics will be covered, aircraft production activities, advertising flights, Vecihi Hayat High Schools will be excluded. At the end of the study, the activities of Vecihi Civil Aircraft School will be determined.
