First Lieutenant Artillery, [[Dimitrios Kamperos]] was known as ''Trelo Kamperos'' meaning Crazy Kamperos).

On May 13, 1912 1st lieutenant Dimitrios Kamberos flew the first military Henry Farman aircraft, and later participated in Army manoeuvres. In June of the same year while the establishment of a Naval Air Service was being examined, Kamperos, having converted the first Henry Farman «Daedalus» into a hydroplane flew at an average speed of 110Km per hour thus achieving a new world record. At the same time another pioneer, '''Alexandros Karamanlakis''', conducting a flight from Phaleron to Patras with a 50-hp Bleriot aircraft performed an unsuccessful ditching in the [[Corithian Gulf]] and met his death, thus opening the pantheon of the sacrifices of the Hellenic epopee in the skies.

In late September [[1912]], the «Aviators Company» consisting of four officers pilots, was set up in Larissa. The first combat air unit was a reality. The pilots were: [[Dimitrios Kamperos]], ''First Lieutenant Artillery''; [[Mihail Moutousis]], ''First Lieutenant Corp of Engineers''; [[Panoutsos Notaras]], Second Lieutenant Cavalry; [[Mihail Adamidis]], ''Second Lieutenant Cavalry''.

[[Dimitrios Kamperos]] not only was the first Greek military pilot, he survived the Balkan Wars and the [[World War I|First World War]]. He was chief instructor for many years in the Greek military flying school and eventually died of cold and hunger, during the German occupation of 1941-44.
