Khmer Air Force
The Khmer Air Force (French: ''Armée de l'air khmère''; AAK), commonly known by its americanized acronym KAF (or KhAF) was the air force branch of the Khmer National Armed Forces (FANK), the official military of the Khmer Republic during the Cambodian Civil War between 1970 and 1975.
==History==
Although an air wing for the fledging Khmer Royal Army (ARK) was first planned in 1952, it wasn't until April 22, 1954 however that the Royal Khmer Aviation (French: ''Aviation royale khmère''; AVRK) was officially commissioned by Royal decree. Commanded by Prince Norodom Sihanouk's personal physician, Colonel Dr. Ngo Hou and known sarcastically as the ‘Royal Flying Club’,〔Conboy and Bowra, ''The War in Cambodia 1970-75'' (1989), p. 19.〕 the AVRK initially operated a small fleet of four Morane-Saulnier MS 500 Criquet liaison aircraft, two Cessna 180 Skywagon light utility aircraft, one Cessna 170 light personal aircraft, and one DC-3 modified for VIP transport. At this stage, the AVRK was not yet an independent service; since its earlier personnel cadre was drawn from the Engineer Corps, the Ministry of Defense placed the AVRK under the administrative control of the Army Engineer's Inspector-General Department. The first flight training courses in-country were initiated on October 1954 by French instructors at the newly founded Royal Flying School (French: ''École de l'Air Royale'') at Pochentong airfield near Phnom Penh, though Khmer pilot students were later sent to France.
