In early August 1904, the Odessa Naval Battalion was created on the basis of the Odessa Free Sea Company, commanded by Kh. F. Stamatyev [2] . In early September of that year, Captain Stamatyev was appointed commander of the rowing company Morbat. In 1906, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, he became assistant commander of the Odessa Naval Battalion [2] .
Participating in the Odessa Aero Club ( founded in March 1908 ), H. Stamatiev was his pilot and the head of the aeronautical park, took part in the organization of the military aviation class at the KLA and the development of his training program.

Among the first Farman system airplanes built in the Russian Empire were airplanes created in the workshops of the Odessa Aero Club, the construction of which was coordinated by Lt. Col. Stamatiev. On December 17 (30), 1910, the KLA committee ordered Kh. F. Stamatyev to build two Farman airplanes by the forces of Odessa Morbat technicians. On April 14 (27), 1911, the first Farman IV was tested by the pilot Nikolai Petrovich Kostin [4] . In the newspaper Odessa News, No. 8393, which was published on Friday, April 15 (28), 1911, in the column “Sports”, the article “Flight of Kostin” [5] was posted:
Yesterday, the first apparatus (Farman system), built by the ranks of the naval battalion, was tested at the racetrack of the running society. Motor "Gnome" of 50 forces was purchased with donations from the president of the flying club Arthur Antonovich Anatr. The flight was made by aviator Kostin. After a smooth rise, Mr. Kostin rose to a height of 100 meters, made a circle and sank. The device is remarkable for its lightness.
