BULGARIAN.
In the Balkan War, 1912-13, Bulgaria hastily organised an aviation
corps. This, though necessarily lacking in military organisation, proved
very useful on several occasions.
At the end of March, 1913, the aeroplanes effective included 6 _Bristol_
monos.; one 70 h.p. _Bleriot XXI_; 2 _Bleriot XI bis_ (captured from the
Turks); also some half-dozen or more miscellaneous machines temporarily
hired.
~Military Aviators.~--The principal are Lieuts. Milkoff, Taraxchieff and
Petroff.
A number of other officers in various stages of training.
CENTRAL AMERICAN.
~General Note.~--Nicaragua and S. Domingo have both purchased one or two
aeroplanes for their military forces: but nothing appears to have been
done with them.
CHILIAN.
~Aviator.~--Edwards, Emilio. Sanchez Besa is a Chilian, but resides in
Paris (see France).
~Military Aviation.~--In 1912, a commencement was made and one 80 h.p.
_Deperdussin_ purchased. Other machines are now on order.
CHINESE.
~AVIATORS.~
Lee, Y. L. (British Ae.C. 148)

~Military Aviation.~
In March, 1913, orders were placed for six 80 h.p. _Caudrons_, also for
six 50 h.p., and a decision arrived at gradually to acquire a force of
700 aeroplanes, but very little has actually been done to date.
