The following Belgian aviators have been killed:--
+---------------------+

+---------------------+
BEHUEGHE (Bron), in Herseun. Built in 1912. A monoplane that flew very
well at camp of Casteau Aerodrome during May--October. ~Motor.~--25.
h.p. type Morane. New designs in wing construction, landing chassis,
etc.
A. BRACKE (formerly Bracke, Missyon & Co.), Casteau, Mons. In 1910,
constructed the first aeroplane built by a Belgium firm--a monoplane
with planes at 120. This machine has not been duplicated: but the firm
have since built machines to private specifications. The only firm which
has in Belgium the speciality of aeronautical patents.
DE BROUCKERE, 23 rue Joardens, Brussels. Biplane. H. Farman. type. Built
in 1911, modified in 1912.
DE LA HAULT Adhemar de la Hault, 214 rue Royale, Brussels. In 1906,
built a flapper of novel design. This was followed in 1910, by a machine
on monoplane lines with one fixed plane and two flapping wings. This
failed to fly, and in August, 1911, was altered into a biplane. It did
not succeed, however. M. Hault is still pursuing the ornithopter
question.
