Escuela Militar de Aeronáutica
 

Role: Training.

The unit was formed at Los Cerrillos as Escuela Militar de Aviación (EMA) on 17.3.1913 with one Framan and one Bleriot XI aircraft. Due to lack of funds the school ceased to exist in July 1913 and was only reactivated on 20.11.1916 at the Paso de Mendoza zone of Montevideo. In 1935 the unit received five Tiger Moth, which were operated by the División Servicios of the EMA. On 31.12.1935 the school got its present name.
