Live and act

Mathias Bös first studied aircraft construction at the TH Aachen , then interrupted his studies from 1925 to 1929 and worked in his father's machine factory in a commercial position. He then worked as a research assistant at Theodore von Kármán's aerodynamic institute and passed his main diploma examination in 1934. During this time, Bös was also active in the Aachen Aviation Science Association (FVA).

From 1934 to 1935, under Otto Fuchs , Bös supervised and promoted student pilot groups at universities and engineering schools in the department for young engineers at the German Aviation Research Institute (DVL). From 1935 to 1938 Bös was a consultant and group leader in the research department of Adolf Baeumker in the Reich Ministry of Aviation (RLM) . The training of young technical and scientific talent for aviation was at the center of his work during this time.
