    Turkish Aeroplane Association which was structured as a nongovernmental organization completed its organization throughout the country a short time after the foundation of the Headquarters on 16 February 1925. Bursa Branch was one of the most successful branches of the Association. People in Bursa supported the policy to form an force which they considered as of vital importance for the national security with great self-sacrifice. Also, there was a great interest towards aviation among the young generation in Bursa. The campaign to buy planes aroused great interest in Bursa and the districts. Orhaneli, one of the districts of Bursa with the lowest income bought two planes and donated them to Turkish Aeroplane Association. People in Bursa proved the importance they give to the issue by being in one of the top rows of plane buying campaign.
