The Aviano school was established in 1911 as the first major expansion of Italy's pioneering flight training program, quickly becoming a national hub for aspiring pilots. At the time, aviation was a service within the Royal Army, and pilots came from various military branches like the Alpini and Cavalry. The school played an early role in military history when its pilots were deployed to Libya during the Italo-Turkish War, one of the first instances of aircraft being used for observation in a conflict. The banner also highlights the early infrastructure, including the command buildings and the creation of the first weather station to ensure flight safety.
