The Servicio de Aeronáutica Militar (Military Aeronautics Service) was created on 28th February 1913 and was part of the Army until it became in 1939 the Ejército del Aire or Air Force. A Royal Circular Order dated 16t April 1913 adopted the Regulation for the Military Aeronautics Service, including an appendix no. 3 with the Air Force emblem. The emblem is colloquially known as rokiski, due to the fact that Madrilenian engraver Luis Rokiski made the metal versions of the emblem to be used in uniforms, which he marked on the back with his surname.
