| Sumario: | The study examines the efforts of the Constitutionalists to develop an aerial corps during the period of the revolt against the usurper government headed by Victoriano Huerta (1913-1914) and the subsequent war between the revolutionary factions (1914-1915). Given that military aviation was still in its infancy, it considers the particular circumstances and motives that impelled the revolutionaries to adopt this new arm to act in conjunction with their army groups in the northern campaigns. It assesses the overall results of the use of the airplane by the constitutionalists, especially during the factional struggle, as well as its importance for the later development of the air arm as an integral part of the national army. |
