A special tribute to the Hellenic Air Force will be hosted on May 8, 2017 at 19:00. The event is under the auspice of the Hellenic American College Summer 2017 Aviation Academy.

Following the publication of the book by Antigoni Kamperos on the life of Dimitrios Kamperos entitled "Δημήτριος Καμπέρος: ο Τρελοκαμπέρος, η ζωή του πρώτου Έλληνα στρατιωτικού αεροπόρου" where we read about the deeds and contribution of the Greek pioneer pilot Dimitrios Kamperos to the early years of the Air Force, invited speakers will shed light on the personalities and events which led to the conception of the aviation idea and the establishment of the Hellenic Air Force by the Prime Minister and Military Minister, Eleftherios Venizelos in 1911.

The event is organized by the Hellenic American College (HAEC) in cooperation with Hellenic American University (Nashua, NH, USA) and the Hellenic Aviation Society.
