Giulio Gavotti
Giulio Gavotti (17 October 1882 in Genoa - 6 October 1939) was an Italian lieutenant and pilot, who fought in the Italo-Turkish War. He set two firsts in the history of aerial warfare of heavier-than-air flyers: he was the first man to make an aerial bombardment, as well as the first to perform a night mission.
==Aerial bombardment==
On the first of November 1911, he flew his early model Etrich Taube monoplane against Ottoman military in Libya. He took four grenades ("''Cipelli''") to a leather pouch, each of a size of grapefruit and weighing approximately four pounds. Flying at an altitude of 600 feet, Gavotti screwed in the detonators and tossed each missile over the side - three onto the Tagiura (Jagiura) oasis, and one more onto military camp at Ain Zara. Gavotti’s scheme injured no one.〔http://axisofevelknievel.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html〕
The oldest known preserved Etrich Taube, in Vienna, Austria, is possibly a near-twin to the aircraft Gavotti flew in 1911, as both are said to have been powered with inline-four cylinder liquid-cooled powerplants.
After this and further missions, the Ottoman Empire issued a protest. The dropping of bombs from balloons had been outlawed by the Hague Convention of 1899, but Italy argued that this ban did not extend to heavier-than-air craft.〔
