Alfred Comte

== Life ==
At the age of 15 Alfred Comte built a motorized bicycle. Comte got his private pilot's license in 1913 by the ''Aero-Club of France''. Beginning World War I, he served as a pilot of the Swiss military, then as an instruction officer for military aviation. In 1916 he carried out night flights from Delémont, to prevent air space violations: Porrentruy had been bombed by aircraft of unknown origin. Germany and France consented to a Swiss proposal to mount light-beacons along the Swiss-German-France borders to prevent further mistakes.〔(Alfred Comte on earlyaviators.com )〕
On 5 November 1919 he co-founded an airline providing aerial photography and passenger flights, ''Comte, Mittelholzer, and Co.'' In 1920, this company merged with the financially stronger Ad Astra Aero. Alfred Comte was a frequent participant in exhibition events for acrobatic flying and pioneered in flying from Zürich to London. In December 1920 he established a school of aviation of his own, using flying boats among them six Austrian ''Lohner TL-1917/R'' aircraft (CH-61 to CH-65) from a base in Oberrieden on Lake Zürich shore. During World War II Comte returned to military aviation duties and was promoted to captain. From 1946 to 1950 he managed once again a school of aviation, was also involved to establish the private airfield Wangen-Lachen on the southern Obersee lake shore, then quit flying and died 1965 in Zürich.
