Summary
Delivery

With the signing of the Austrian State Treaty on 15 May 1955, which restored the sovereignty of Austria and fixed the withdrawal of the Allied occupying forces until the end of the same year, the immediate establishment of the new Austrian Air Force began. Thus, on 15 July 1955, the Office of National Defence was established in the Federal Chancellery. The actual birth of the Austrian Air Force was the 9 December 1955. For the first time from Airbase Brumowski in Langenlebarn in Lower Austria with the locally assembled Yakovlev Yak-18 (3A-AB) √ê a gift from the Soviet Union, this being after a more than 17.5 years break the first flight of an airplane with Austrian markings. The original equipment of the Austrian Armed Forces was on land and in the air quite modest and consisted mainly of gifts and very cheaply acquired, used equipment of the former occupying powers. Thus, at the beginning of 1956, the Austrian Air Force had only four Yakovlev Yak-11 and Yak-18 for basic training √ê gifts from the USSR √ê and one Bell 47G2 helicopter acquired in France. Therefore, the most urgent task was to procure modern flying equipment. During these months, the Federal Ministry of Defence received offers from various manufacturers and distributors for some modern aircraft types, ranging from the Dassault Mystere IV to the De Havilland Vampire and the Hispano Aviacion HA-200 Saeta to the North American F-86 Sabre. On the following pages all types of airplanes and helicopters bought and leased by the Austrian Armed Forces from 1955 to the present day are listed chronologically. Austrian and English Language.
