Royal Hungarian Automobile Club, Aviation Committee
In 1908, the Kiralyi Magyar Automobile Club or Royal Hungarian Automobile Club established an Aviatikai Bizottsaga or Aviation Committee. The committee was disbanded on 12 Dec. 1909 and replaced by an Aviatikia Szakosztalya or Aviation Commission, which, on the same day, became the legal successor to the Magyar Aero Club or Hungarian Aero Club whose existence was terminated on that date. On 26 Feb. 1910, the second Magyar Aero Club or Hungarian Aero Club, which see, was formed at the offices of the Kiralyi Magyar Automobil Club and it appears that at the same time the Automobil Club's Aviation Commission ceased to exist.
