Created in 1924 and integrated with the Army. Pilots were trained abroad until 1932, when a flying training school was established at Mehrabad, nr Teheran. By 1941 there were four Air Regiments, based at Teheran, Tabriz, Meshed and Ahwaz, which had reduced to a bombing regiment and a reconnaissance regiment by 1945. In Aug 1955, it became an independent air arm, separate from the Army. From c. spring 1965, a modernising re-equipment programme began, which amongst other things created a Helicopter component to the Transport Wing of HH-43B, Whirlwind (seconded from Iran Air ?) and eventually Chinooks.
