Via Email From Rene Hackstetter January 1, 2002 He delivered Parsevals to the Ottoman Air Force in 1912. He was an honorary "Bey" in the Turkish forces, with the rank of Major. He was known as "Hacky-Bey". He wrote a book, with a number of other authors, about airships. "Die Lufftschiffart" -graf von Zeppelin was on the title page. Anyone know where I might find a copy?
