Christos Adamidis

Christos Adamidis (Greek: Χρήστος Αδαμίδης, 1885–1949) was a Hellenic Army officer and pioneer of military aviation.

He was one of the first Greek officers who received aviation training in France and later participated in air operations during the Balkan Wars.

[3] These missions also included leaflet and food dropping to the population of Ioannina, the urban center of the area, who was starving due to the extended military conflicts.

On that day, Adamidis landed his Farman MF.7 aircraft on the Town Hall square of the city, to the adulation of an enthusiastic crowd.

The tour lasted 20 days covering a distance of 12,000 km (7,456 mi), and was considered a significant achievement in relation to the capabilities of Greek aviation of that time.
