...revolt against Inönü was led by his protégé and heir apparent, Bülent Ecevit. When Turkey's elected government was toppled last year by a military coup, Inönü and Ecevit disagreed over the future course of party policy.

He is Maxime Breguet, 29, son of the founder of Breguet Aviation, which built, among many other planes, the Breguet 14 flown by the Lafayette escadrille in World...
