The history of the Cartadanian Air Force can be traced back to the early 20th century when the country was facing political and regional conflicts with neighboring Caphiria.

After the annexation of the eastern states, the Department of Defense redirected much of its efforts towards developing equipment and mobilizing the workforce in the western states of [[Victoria]] and [[Verona]].

During the Carto-Porlosi conflict, the Cartadanian Air Force played a crucial role in providing air support to the Army. As the conflict was largely concentrated in inland areas, the air force became the primary means of transportation for supplies and personnel. With the help of the air force, the army was able to move quickly and efficiently across the rugged terrain, launching surprise attacks on the rebel militia. The air force was also responsible for conducting reconnaissance missions over the conflict zone. These missions provided valuable information to the army, allowing them to adjust their strategy and tactics to gain an advantage over the rebels.

History
Origins
The history of the Cartadanian Air Force can be traced back to the early 20th century when the country was facing political and regional conflicts with neighboring Caphiria. In 1913, the Cartadanian Secretary of War approved the purchase of an early airplane, which was initially intended for reconnaissance purposes.

By the following year, four more planes were added to the Cartadanian military's aviation arm, and plans were set in motion to establish an official air force. On 17 December 1913, General Gabriel Seabra was appointed as the Inspector General of this aviation arm of the Armed Forces, laying the groundwork for the future Cartadanian Air Force.
Great Wars era
The Cartadanian Air Force's involvement in both Great Wars was largely concentrated on key areas where air support provided a strategic advantage. Although largely uninvolved in the First Great War, the Second Great War saw Cartadania's determination to utilize the full impact of its armed forces, especially its Air Force. After the annexation of the eastern states, the Department of Defense redirected much of its efforts towards developing equipment and mobilizing the workforce in the western states of Victoria and Verona. This included contractors such as Angelico and Murena Defense, who increased production to meet the demand.
The Cartadanian Air Force saw significant changes during this time period, as the Department of Defense emphasized the importance of air superiority and air-to-surface campaigns. This led to the development of new tactics and technologies, such as precision-guided munitions, which allowed for more effective strikes against enemy targets.
