On today's date in 1912, during the Balkan War, lieutenants Radul Milkov and Prodan Tarakchiev were the first to use an airplane as a combat tool in the skies over Edirne. Therefore, October 16 has been declared the holiday of Bulgaria’s aviation. The two young Bulgarian pilots flew over the Edirne fortress with a German-made Albatross plane and threw hand grenades over the Karaagac station. This is also the first combat flight in Europe.
