Aero Club of Switzerland, Central Switzerland Section
Based in Berne, the Section Mittelschweiz of the Aero Club of Switzerland served German-speaking Middle Switzerland. Founded in May 1910, it was the second independent section of the Aero Club der Schweiz. The club published statutes and rules of procedure in 1910; a directory of members, 16 Apr. 1911; and regulations for free ballooning, 1912.
The Sektion Mittelschweiz was founded in May 1910 by Col. Theodor Schaeck, the founder and president since 1901 of the Aero Club der Schweiz. Yearly assemblies were held in the spring, including the years 1913-1916. The Swiss National Exposition of 1914 was held in Berne and it appears that the Section Mittelschweize organized a festival there from 25-26 July.
