Osmanlı Devleti, Kafkasya’dan Irak’a, Süveyş Kanalı’ndan Çanakkale’ye kadar birçok cephede aktif olarak mücadele etmiştir. Bu cephelerin dışında Osmanlı kuvvetleri, etkin olarak savaşılmayan bölgelerde de aktif/pasif savunma tedbirleri almak suretiyle faaliyet göstermiştir. Bu çerçevede, Batı Anadolu sahillerinin İngiliz ve Fransız donanmasının tehdidi altında bulunması, ayrıca İtilaf unsurlarının uçak gemileri ile istedikleri yerde hava harekâtı düzenleme kabiliyetine sahip olması, Osmanlı Başkomutanlık Vekâleti’nin ilgili bölgede hava birlikleri konuşlandırmasına neden olmuştur. İtilaf kuvvetlerinin Çanakkale Muharebeleri’nden sonra Gelibolu veya İzmir üzerinden bir çıkarma yapma ihtimaline karşı Çanakkale’deki hava birlikleri ile hem başkent İstanbul’un güvenliğini sağlamak ve hem de olası çıkarma harekâtına karşı önlem almak hedeflenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Çanakkale Zaferi sonrasında Batı Anadolu Bölgesi’nde gerçekleştirilen havacılık faaliyetleri, arşiv belgelerine dayalı olarak incelenmiştir.
The Ottoman State has actively fought on many fronts from the Caucasus to Iraq, from the Suez Canal to Çanakkale. In addition to these fronts, the Ottoman forces have operated by taking active/passive defense measures in the areas that are not effectively combated. In this context, the threat of the West Anatolian coasts by the British and French Navy, and the ability of the opposition elements to organize air movement where they want with aircraft ships, has led to the Ottoman General Command Division to deploy air forces in the area concerned. The objective is to ensure the security of the capital Istanbul with the air forces in Çanakkale against the possibility of the opposition forces to make an exit through Gelibolu or Izmir after the Çanakkale battles and to take measures against the possible exit movement. In this study, the aviation activities carried out in the West Anadolu Region after the Canakkale Victory were studied on the basis of archive documents.
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.
