The | 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. However, the Cartadanian military soon recognized the potential of aerial warfare, and the newly acquired plane was quickly outfitted for military operations. | ||
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. | |||
