Ahmet Ali Çelikten Ahmet Ali Çelikten born İzmirli Alioğlu Ahmed; 1883–1969), also known as Arap Ahmet Ali or İzmirli Ahmet Ali,[1] was an Ottoman aviator who may have been the first black pilot in aviation history and was one of the few black pilots in World War I, like Eugene Jacques Bullard. His grandmother came from [size=13pt]Bornu[/size] (now in Nigeria) to the Ottoman Empire as a slave. Ahmet born in 1883 in İzmir, in the Aidin Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire to his mother Zenciye Emine Hanım and father Ali Bey, of African Turkish descent. He aimed to become a naval sailor and entered the Naval Technical School named Haddehâne Mektebi (literally "School of the Blooming Mill" in 1904. In 1908, he graduated from school as a First Lieutenant (Mülâzım-ı evvel). And then he went to aviation courses in the Naval Flight School (Deniz Tayyare Mektebi) that was formed on 25 June 1914 at Yeşilköy. He was then a member of the Ottoman Air Force. During World War I, he married Hatice Hanım (1897–1991) who was an immigrant from Preveza. He became first black military pilot in aviation history when he started serving in November 1916. On 18 December 1917, Captain (Yüzbaşı) Ahmed Ali was sent to Berlin to complete aviation courses. He died in 1969. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmet_Ali_%C3%87elikten 11 Likes 5 Shares

Cool
*Modified*A Crow lived in the Forest and was
absolutely satisfied in life.
But one day he saw a Swan...
This Swan is so white and I am so black.. Crow
thought.
This Swan must be the happiest bird in the world.
He expressed his thoughts to the Swan.
"Actually," the Swan replied,
"I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around
until I saw a Parrot, which has two colours.
I now think the Parrot is the happiest bird in
creation."
The Crow then approached the Parrot
The Parrot explained, "I lived a very happy life—
until I saw a Peacock. I have only two colours, but
the Peacock has multiple colours."
The Crow then visited a Peacock in the zoo and
saw that hundreds of people had gathered to see
him.
After the people had left, The Crow approached
the Peacock..
Dear Peacock,
You are so beautiful.
Every day thousands of people come to see you.
When people see me, they immediately shove me
away. I think you are the happiest bird on the
planet.
The Peacock replied,
I always thought that I was the most beautiful
and happy bird on the planet. But because of my
beauty, I am entrapped in this zoo. I have
examined the zoo very carefully, and I have
realized that the Crow is the only bird not kept in
a cage.
So for the past few days I have been thinking that
if I were a Crow, I could happily roam
everywhere.
That's our problem too.
We make unnecessary comparison with others
and become sad. We don't value what God has
given us. This all leads to the vicious cycle of
unhappiness.
Let's value the things God has given us.
Learn the secret of being happy and discard the
comparison which leads only to unhappiness..
Say "I thank you God for everything."
Beauty is not a guarantee to marriage.
Falling sick does not mean you are about to die.
Getting rich is not the definition of prosperity.
Building a nice house is not enjoying luxury.
Sleeping on an expensive bed does not
bring you sound sleep.
Driving a new car is not a guarantee that you're
going to arrive at your destination.
Wearing the best clothes does not mean they look
good on you.
Having a family doctor does not guarantee
permanent health.
Being highly educated is not a sign of wisdom.
Marrying a rich guy does not guarantee a happy
marriage.
Winning an argument does not mean that you are
correct.
Whatever is done without the merit of Heaven is
fake or temporal. He who builds without God, is
building for nothing; and he who watches over a
city without God, watches in vain.
Not everything is possible with men. Yet
everything is possible with God.
Stay blessed! 114 Likes 15 Shares |
