Brazilian Air Force
The Brazilian Air Force (Força Aérea Brasileira, FAB) was created on 20 January 1941 by merging Brazil’s army and naval aviation, sank a U-boat off Rio and flew P-47s over Italy within four years, grew up alongside Embraer, and in 2026 is the largest air force in South America, flying the Gripen, the KC-390 and the Super Tucano while it waits for money to replace the last of its F-5s.
The Brazilian Air Force story: a U-boat off Rio, P-47s over Italy, Meteors paid for in cotton and Gripens built at home
1912–1941: army flyers, naval aviators and a new ministry
Brazilian military flying began in a civil war. Lieutenant Ricardo Kirk, the first Brazilian Army officer to earn a pilot’s brevet (at Étampes in France on 22 October 1912), flew reconnaissance for the army in the Contestado War from União da Vitória with three monoplanes and an Italian civilian pilot; he was killed in a crash near General Carneiro, Paraná, on 1 March 1915. The army and navy then built separate air arms. In the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932 the federal government’s army and naval aviation, about 58 aircraft by one modern count, faced nine or ten São Paulo machines. On 20 January 1941 President Getúlio Vargas’s government created a Ministry of Aeronautics that took over both air arms and civil aviation; the new service, first called the National Air Forces, took the name Força Aérea Brasileira on 22 May 1941. It inherited, by the Portuguese Wikipedia’s count, 430 aircraft of 35 types, all obsolete.
1942–1945: a U-boat off Rio and P-47s over the Po valley
Brazil declared war on Germany and Italy on 22 August 1942 after U-boats sank Brazilian ships, and the young air force’s first war was over its own coast. On 31 July 1943 a Brazilian Catalina named Arará, flown by Second Lieutenant Alberto M. Torres, joined a Brazilian Hudson and a US Navy Mariner of VP-74 in attacking U-199 off Rio de Janeiro; the Catalina’s depth charges sank her, with 49 dead and 12 survivors (uboat.net). The 1st Fighter Group (1º Grupo de Aviação de Caça), formed on 18 December 1943 under Major Nero Moura and trained in Florida, Panama and New York, landed at Livorno on 6 October 1944 and flew P-47D Thunderbolts in the US 350th Fighter Group. By 6 May 1945 it had flown 445 missions and 2,550 sorties, mostly against bridges, rail and vehicles in the Po valley. Its war cry “Senta a Púa!” and its ostrich badge are still worn at Santa Cruz.
1945–1975: Meteors for cotton, revolts and the Lobster War
Post-war Brazil paid for its first jets in kind: in October 1952 it ordered 60 Gloster Meteor F.8s and 10 T.7s from Britain and paid with 15,000 tons of raw cotton. American F-80Cs and T-33s followed, and the Smoke Squadron, founded with T-6s, flew its first display over Copacabana on 14 May 1952. The service was also political. In February 1956 Major Haroldo Veloso and Captain José Chaves Lameirão led a revolt of air force officers against President Juscelino Kubitschek from Jacareacanga in Pará, which collapsed after 19 days. In 1961–1963, during the “Lobster War” fishing dispute with France, FAB B-17s, P-2 Neptunes and S-2 Trackers shadowed French warships off the north-east; a Neptune found the destroyer Tartu on 26 February 1963, no shot was fired, and France withdrew by 10 March. Under the military governments of 1964–1985 the air force took part in the 1972–1974 campaigns against the Araguaia guerrilla, which a later Inter-American Court ruling and the National Truth Commission examined.
1969–2013: Embraer, the Tucano and the Mirage years
The decision that shaped the modern FAB was industrial. A 1965 Ministry of Aeronautics requirement produced the Bandeirante twin turboprop, first flown on 26 October 1968, and Embraer was founded in August 1969 to build it; the air force ordered 80 as the C-95 in May 1970. Embraer then licence-built 166 Aermacchi MB-326s as the AT-26 Xavante from 1970, designed the EMB 312 Tucano to an air force requirement of 1978 (168 delivered to the FAB from 29 September 1983) and took 29.7 per cent of the Italian-Brazilian AMX attack jet. Supersonic air defence arrived in 1972 with 16 Mirage IIIEBRs and four IIIDBRs; F-5E Tiger IIs followed from 1975. When the Mirage IIIs were retired in 2005 the gap was filled with 12 second-hand Mirage 2000s from France, delivered from September 2006 and retired in December 2013.
2001–2022: Super Tucanos over the Amazon and the long Gripen choice
From 2001 the air force built a force for the Amazon. The ALX programme bought 99 Embraer A-29 Super Tucanos, delivered from December 2003 to June 2012, to work with the SIVAM radar network and the E-99 airborne radars against unregistered flights. Article 303 of the Aeronautical Code, regulated by Decree 5,144 of 16 July 2004, allows the air force, after interrogation, an order to land and warning shots, to destroy an aircraft judged hostile, on the authority of the Commander of the Air Force. Super Tucanos fired warning shots at a drug-trafficking Cessna in June 2009 and bombed clandestine airstrips in the Ágata operations from 2011. The fighter question took longer: the F-X competition was cancelled and restarted, and only on 18 December 2013 did President Dilma Rousseff announce the Gripen NG, with a contract for 28 single-seat and 8 two-seat aircraft signed on 24 October 2014 and a technology-transfer deal that put a final assembly line at Embraer’s Gavião Peixoto plant.
2023–2026: Gripen, Millennium and an ageing rest of the fleet
By 2026 the FAB is two air forces. One is new: Gripens (designated F-39), the first Brazilian one flown in Sweden on 26 August 2019 and 12 delivered by the 2027 budget bill’s count, which took over Brasília’s air defence alert at Anápolis on 24 February 2026; the first Brazil-built F-39E was presented on 25 March 2026 and the two-seat F-39F, developed with Brazilian engineers, flew on 28 August 2026. The KC-390 Millennium, delivered from 4 September 2019 and now sold to European and Asian air forces, carried much of the 2024 Rio Grande do Sul flood airlift. The other is old: F-5Ms first bought in 1975, a handful of A-1M attack jets kept flying on short Italian support contracts, and transports and trainers from the 1970s and 1980s. Budgets explain the gap: the Gripen deliveries were stretched rather than cut in 2024, the KC-390 order fell from 28 to 19, and in July 2026 the air force told Congress that 36 Gripens were not enough and that it needed 66.

How the Brazilian Air Force is organised
One command, the Comando da Aeronáutica in Brasília, under the Ministry of Defence, with its bases run as numbered wings and its squadrons grouped into numbered aviation groups. The F-39 Gripen of the 1st Air Defence Group at Anápolis is the front-line fighter, 12 of 36 delivered, with ageing F-5Ms at Santa Cruz and Canoas and A-29 Super Tucanos on the Amazon and western borders. The KC-390 Millennium, 8 delivered of 19 on order, is replacing the transport fleet, while the last A-1M attack jets fly on short support contracts.
Comando da Aeronáutica (COMAER)
The air force’s command within the Ministry of Defence since 1999, when the Ministry of Aeronautics created in 1941 was folded into it. Ten.-Brig. Marcelo Kanitz Damasceno has been Commander of the Air Force since 2 January 2023; the bases are run as numbered wings (alas), Ala 1 at Brasília to Ala 12 at Santa Cruz.
1st Air Defence Group (Jaguar)
Brazil’s only Gripen unit: 12 of the 36 F-39E/Fs on contract had been delivered by the 2027 budget bill’s count, and ten were at Anápolis in February 2026. It took over the air defence alert for Brasília and the Planalto Central on 24 February 2026, after flying the Mirage III, the Mirage 2000 and the F-5EM.
1st Fighter Group and 1st/14th Aviation Group
The F-5EM/FM squadrons: the 1st Fighter Group, the ‘Senta a Púa!’ unit that flew P-47s in Italy, with its Jambock and Pif-Paf squadrons, and the Pampa squadron. The May 2022 retirement plan put 14 F-5Ms with each and sets a minimum fleet of 14 in 2029, tied to Gripen deliveries.
10th Aviation Group and the A-29 squadrons of the 3rd Aviation Group
The Poker and Centauro squadrons fly the last A-1M (AMX) attack jets, five kept available by a Leonardo contract to the end of 2025; their formal retirement was not confirmed. The Escorpião, Grifo and Flecha squadrons fly A-29 Super Tucanos against unregistered flights on the northern and western borders, 81 of 99 delivered in Wikipedia’s list.
1st Troop Transport Group and the 1st and 2nd Transport Groups
The KC-390 Millennium, 8 delivered of 19 on order by October 2025, went first to the Zeus squadron at Anápolis in 2019 and later also to Galeão, where the Corsário squadron flies two ex-Azul KC-30s. Numbered air transport squadrons (ETA) fly Bandeirantes, Brasílias and Caravans, and the Special Transport Group flies the President.
6th and 7th Aviation Groups
The Guardião squadron flies E-99M airborne early warning and R-99 remote-sensing jets for the Amazon surveillance system and air defence. Maritime patrol is flown by the Orungan squadron with P-3AM Orions and the Phoenix and Netuno squadrons with P-95 Bandeirulhas.
8th Aviation Group
H-36 Caracals, built in Brazil by Helibras, with the Falcão and Puma squadrons, and H-60L Black Hawks with the Pantera and Harpia squadrons. The Poti squadron’s AH-2 Sabre attack helicopters were planned for retirement in 2022, and the squadron was to switch to the H-60.
Air Force Academy and the Natal training squadrons
Every air force pilot learns to fly at the academy on the T-25 Universal and the T-27 Tucano, beside the Smoke Squadron display team and its A-29s. Graduates then specialise at Natal: the Joker squadron on the A-29 for fighters, Rumba on the C-95 and Gavião on the H-50 helicopter.

Where the Brazilian Air Force flies from
Black pins are active bases; all 16 on the map are in use, although Salvador and Florianópolis have had no permanent flying units since 2017. Santa Cruz, built as an airship port for the Zeppelin service in 1936, has been the home of the 1st Fighter Group since its return from Italy in 1945, and Anápolis was built from 1970 to defend the new capital with Mirage IIIs. Eight of the bases share their runways with civil airports, and Natal was the Second World War’s Parnamirim Field.

Who is stationed where in the Brazilian Air Force
基地ごとの飛行部隊一覧（現行部隊から順）。. Brazilian squadrons are numbered within aviation groups — 1º/14º GAv is the 1st Squadron of the 14th Aviation Group — and each carries a name, from Jaguar at Anápolis to Pampa at Canoas. The US forces at Parnamirim Field in the Second World War and a Navy helicopter squadron at Belém are listed and marked as not part of the air force. Where a squadron’s base rests on Wikipedia alone, the entry says so.
