Hürkus: héroe en el cielo

Tras participar de forma voluntaria en la Guerra de los Balcanes, Vecihi Hurkus construye el primer avión de factoría turca. El aeroplano, construido desde cero, a partir de chatarra británica de la Primera Guerra Mundial, realizó su vuelo inaugural en 1925.

The life of Vecihi Hürkuş, the first Turkish pilot to shoot down an enemy aircraft during World War I and the War of Independence, is being brought to the big screen. Vecihi Hürkuş, who pursued his passion for flying at the age of 16, dedicated his life to manufacturing aircraft and training new pilots.
