Ethiopian Air Force

The ETAF is tasked with protecting the national air space, providing support to ground forces, as well as assisting civil operations during national emergencies. History Early years (1929–1935) The origins of the Ethiopian Air Force has been traced to (then Ras) Haile Selassie witnessing a show of the British Royal Air Force in November 1922, in Aden.

As a result of this experience, he advocated the development of the Imperial Ethiopian Air Force. This small air arm began with the delivery of a Potez 25-A2 to the capital Addis Ababa on 18 August 1929. A Junkers W 33c follo ...
