history

When Germany and Austria were banned from maintaining air forces after the Treaty of Versailles and the Peace Treaty of Saint-Germain , aviation was established at many universities in the interwar period . They should spread aviation skills among the students. The aviators wore color and were usually exposed .

The Academic Fliegerring was founded on October 28, 1924 as a corporation of the aviation associations . The ring of academic pilots founded in 1923 by the Daedalia Breslau and Daedalia Leipzig pilots was merged into it. The Academic Fliegerzeitung was published as the association's journal . The association was dissolved in 1935. The only aviation that still exists today is the Wieland-Staufen Academic Aviation in Graz .
