One of those dudes could be my great grandfather. He was in that regiment.

Donkeys were standard issue.

Montenegrin Infantry Officer, officially this one is with the rank of a Colonel

Even though this is not WWI, it is 1910 <uniforms almost the same>, this was taken/painted on 28 August 1910, proclamation of the Kingdom of Montenegro. In the front you see King Nicholas I P.N. of Montenegro and his wife in the Montenegrin national clothing, on their left ( picture's right ) there's my great grandfather General Janko Vukotich, behind them <about 20m> there's the Italian King and Queen < Victor E. III and Queen Jelena, princess of Montenegro> and the Montenegrin Royal Family, on the left, within the officers, in the blue uniform, saluting is Crown Prince Alexander I of Serbia, and the rest of the Montenegrin high command.

Germans were flying the aircrafts for them. Actually Turks had quite a few quality pilots, and none of them were wearing infantry clothes with bullet marks on them.
 
Yeah....World War I aviation is kind of my specialty :wink:

It is true the Germans flew a fair amount for the Ottomans but the Ottomans did have their own units and pilots/planes.  That being said, the Germans were more successful in these theaters...men like Buddeke and von Bulow-Bothkamp actually became aces in the Gallipoli area.  Various German Flieger-Abteilungen also played critical roles in the Sinai campaign.  Finally, if you ever saw Lawrence of Arabia, the enemy plane in it (historically) was German.

However, the plane behind them is not a recognizable German type.
 
It was probably more of a 'Look a plane lets go take a picture infront of it'
 
Actually you guys are probably right, considering how the airplane is missing the propeller.  :lol:

I'd be surprised if the guy on the right actually normally wears that as a uniform...either that or he took a close bomb or artillery blast not long before the photo.  :mrgreen:
 
It was revealed that this photo is actually taken in 1918(it was written on the backside of the photo) which is 3 years after Gallipoli. The photo was taken by the German pilot,Emil Meinecke, who fought on behalf of Ottoman Empire. The uniform the tall guy is wearing is actually French, not Turkish(notice how the buttons are on different sides). The guy who released this photo also admitted that "these guys might not be soldiers".

Agree. Artizan mentioned before me. Also I read a detailed research about the photo, it is clearly fake.

Ottoman Air Force had 4 planes? Come on... The empire had a notable air force with around hundred (maybe more) aircrafts and Turkish personnel. Please research about it.

Of course German pilots were much famous, Ottoman Empire started to show interest to aviation just before the WW1.

Nice topic by the way, share more pics! :grin:
 
Actually Ottomans could've been the pioneers for aviation in the world if Sultan Murad hadn't exiled Hazerfen Ahmet Çelebi after he flew over the Bosphorus and gave him some patronage instead.
