La Aviación Militar Española. De Los Pioneros Al Poder Espacial

Spanish Military Aviation began its development at the beginning of the 20th century thanks to some daring aviators who, in the primitive aeroplanes of the time, began to take to the skies over Spain and soon realised the importance that air power was going to have in the future. The Air Force (EA) took over from Military Aviation and, although it is the youngest component of the Armed Forces, it has already been at the service of the Spanish people for more than seventy-five years. With air assets and ground units, the men and women of the EA are ready and willing to guarantee the inviolability of our airspace and to contribute to the security and well-being of all Spanish citizens, within the framework of the joint action of the Armed Forces. Furthermore, our Army plays an important role in the common defence structures of the multinational organisations to which Spain belongs.
