Note 1Dimitris Vogiatzis, quoting the French aeronautical magazine L' Aero, says Kostia had a French Aeroclub balloonist's license and so was perhaps the first known Greek balloonist.
Note 2He appears to have been attached to the Greek Aviation detachment during the First Balkan War, perhaps as an aide-de-camp and as a battlefield guide for journalists such as his brother Stephane (pseudonym Etienne Labranche) of ‘Les Temps’.
Note 3In 2015, historian Nikos Karabelas published a major study of Kostia Vlasto: ‘Etienne Labranche & Kostia Vlastos. Two war correspondents of Le Temps in Preveza during 1912-13’.
