Ecuadorian Air Force
The Ecuadorian Air Force (Spanish: Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana; FAE) is the air branch of the Armed Forces of Ecuador.
The FAE provides two different mission statements on its website in Spanish:
Desarrollar la capacidad militar aeroespacial, que garantice la defensa de la soberanía e integridad territorial; y, apoyar con su contingente al desarrollo nacional y a la seguridad pública y del Estado
Vigilar y proteger el espacio aéreo, empleando, desarrollando e impulsando el poder aéreo y espacial, para contribuir con la defensa de la soberanía e integridad territorial, la seguridad y paz del Estado
The FAE provides two different vision statements on its website in Spanish:
Desarrollar la capacidad militar aeroespacial, que garantice la defensa de la soberanía e integridad territorial; y, apoyar con su contingente al desarrollo nacional y a la seguridad pública y del Estado
Ser una fuerza aérea multidominio, ágil y polivalente; líder en el desarrollo aéreo y espacial nacional.
The FAE was officially created on October 27, 1920. However, like in many other countries, military flying activity started before the formal date of birth of the Air Force. The history of Ecuador is marked by many skirmishes with its neighbour Peru. As a direct result of the 1910 Ecuador-Peru crisis the members of Club de Tiro Guayaquil decided to expand their sporting activities into aviation as well. Renamed Club de Tiro y Aviación, they started an aviation school.[citation needed] Cosme Rennella Barbatto, an Italian living in Guayaquil, was one of the first members of Club de Tiro y Aviación. In 1912, Barbato was sent to his native Italy for training where he graduated as a pilot. He later returned to Europe a second time in 1915, where he participated in World War I. In 152 combat sorties he scored 18 victories, although only seven were confirmed. When he returned to Ecuador, his experiences served as motivation for a reduced group of Ecuadorian pilots, who moved to the Aviation School in Turin, Italy, with the objective of graduating as the first Ecuadorian pilots of the nascent Ecuadorian Military Aviation.
