Notes

↑ In 2006, the Federation of Serbia and Montenegro broke up and its armed forces were divided between the newly formed states.
↑ After the First World War, Serbia became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
↑ By 1991, they had virtually ceased to exist as a result of the civil war.
↑ In 1993, Russia handed over several helicopters to the Tajik Air Force. The organization of the local Air Force began no later than 1994.
↑ Although army aviation was formed only in 1979, in 1956 air squads were formed in both army corps, and a platoon of army aviation was formed at the General Staff.
↑ Despite the fact that the first aircraft was received immediately after independence, and in 1963, France delivered several more aircraft, officially the Air Force was formed only in 1964.
↑ However, the first aircraft did not appear in the Tunisian Air Force until 1960.
↑ The Croatian Aviation Legion was formed on June 2, 1941 from Croatian volunteers as part of the Luftwaffe . The Legion consisted of a fighter squadron 15. (Kroatische) / JG 52 and a bomber 15. (Kroatische) / KG 53 . The fighter squadron participated in battles on the Eastern Front from October 6, 1941 to July 1944 , and the bomber from October 25, 1941 to December 1942 .
↑ The first aircraft was received by the Chilean Navy in 1919, which is traditionally considered the year the Navy was founded, but officially, as the branch of the Navy, the Navy aviation was formed only in 1923.
↑ After the unified national air force was disbanded in Chile in 1953, the Chilean army lost its own aviation. This led to the formation in 1959 of the Club Aéreo del Personal del Ejército (Aero Military Club). Although it was never recognized as a branch of the armed forces of the army, the club became the forerunner of modern Chilean Army Aviation.
↑ Combined with the Swedish Air Force in 2003
↑ In 1943, the Sonderstaffel was reorganized into the Lufwaffe division of Aufklärungsgruppe 127 (AGr 127). On October 18, 1943, AGr 127 was divided into two groups See-Aufklärungsgruppe 127 and Nachtschlachtgruppe 11 .
↑ It was formed on February 12, 1942 as an auxiliary unit of the Luftwaffe for the coast guard.
↑ By 1991, the Ethiopian Air Force had virtually ceased to exist as a result of the civil war. The Air Force was restored only in 1995.
↑ The Imperial Navy identification mark was also used:
