On April 19, 1921 the first flight of a Bistrol F.2B by Ivan Dean Lamb, a Canadian mercenary, started the history of what is known today as the Fuerza Aérea Hondureña.
During the following and agitated years a number of aircrafts were bought, flown and crashed by a number of pilots, most of them foreign.
It was not until April 14, 1931 that an Escuela Nacional de Aviación was created by Decree No 198 as an organ of the Ministry of War, under the dictatorship of General Carias.
On February 25, 1936 the Fuerza Aérea Hondureña and the Escuela de Aviación Militar are officially created by the same General Carias, and by the end of 1936 the Fuerza Aérea Hondureña counted some 16 aircrafts (mostly Boeing) in its inventory.
December 7, 1941 changed a number of things as General Carias offered the full support of the whole Fuerza Aérea Hondureña to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This nonwithtanding, Honduras declared the war to the Axis powers only in December 1944 and concentrated on a policy of supporting neutrality with the Allied, which was exemplified by daily antisubmarine patrols (without much success).
