O'Neill was the first to introduce the term "Fuerza Aérea Mexicana" (FAM) naming the organization as such.
Commander O'Neill soon acquired 35 British made Avro 504K and Avro 504J airplanes, which later would be made in Mexico under the name Avro Anáhuac. In anticipation of the new "Chief", a purchase was made of 13 French Farman F.50 night bombers. The branch initially consisted of 27 pilots, 17 of which were cadets. 5 others were in repair and over 20 more at the TNCA were obsolete or wrecked beyond repair. These were functional yet ill-equipped for battle, 4 being scout monoplanes. Until August 1920, the entire fleet consisted of 13 national made prototypes of mixed engine design.
Colonel Ralph O'Neill was hired to head the restructuring of the Mexican Air Force in 1920, he reported to General Plutarco Elías Calles that most of the aircraft available had to be replaced. Other rebellions General O'Neill Standing with President Obregon On February 5, 1915, the leader of the Constitutionalist Army, Venustiano Carranza, founded the Military Aviation Arm ( Arma de Aviación Militar), which would become the current air force. Masson also performed leaflet drops, also considered the first ever done. Although the attack did not cause any damage below, it is the first known instance of air-to-sea bombing. The air force exclusively performed reconnaissance missions until, when Didier Masson and a Joaquín Bauche Alcalde dropped 15 kilograms of dynamite on rebel boats. The official predecessor of the Air Force was the Army's Auxiliary Aerial Militia Squadron ( Escuadrilla Aérea de la Milicia Auxiliar del Ejército), created during the Mexican Revolution in April 1913 by the Secretary of War and Navy General Manuel Mondragón, who authorized pilots Miguel Lebrija and Juan Guillermo Villasana to test out bomb targets on Campo de Balbuena, the first airport in Mexico, now located in Jardín Balbuena in Mexico City. They returned to Mexico in 1913 not only as founders, but also teachers for the next generation of pilots. The foundation of the Mexican airforce was led by five Mexican flight pioneers who were sent to New York by President Francisco Madero to master flying: Juan Pablo and Eduardo Aldasoro, Alberto and Gustavo Salinas and Horacio Ruiz.
