Dancko´s dissertation is presumably the first study in the field of air law. It is also pioneering by its “cosmopolitan” approach while comparing and evaluating relevant laws and regulationsfrom England, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Russia and Spain.

Also, it is interesting to see that Dancko´s work is structured logically but also formally in many ways like a “modern” contemporary dissertation.
