First concieved to expand the capabilities of the Company of Dirigeable Guides of the Puhkgundie Rifles, to other units but with a focus on airplanes instead of dirigibles. | |||

Later focused on ground attack and bombers, then intercepters in the 20s when other countries also get planes, coastal patrol aircraft for the coastal artillery folks. | |||
