In 1911, had at least three vessels: the España, the Principe de Asturias (captive dirigible), and the Urano (spherical balloon).[3]
In 1913, a new branch, the Servicio de Aeronáutica Militar, was created for airplanes, and Vives Vich was named its director.[2]
A separate service, the Aviación Naval was created as part of the Navy in 1917 (and renamed Aeronáutica Naval after 1920).[4]
