The Japanese Air Force of the Army Imperial Japanese Army Air Force - abbreviated IJAAF, jap. Dainippon Teikoku Rikugun Kokubutai) were formed as early as 1912, but their very intensive development took place mainly in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1940, and therefore already during the war with China, and just before the start of the Pacific War, IJAAF had approximately 30,000 staff members.

During the war with China, especially in the period 1937-1940, there were many independent sub-units called Dokuritsu Hiko Daitai (in the strength of about 20-30 machines) and Dokuritsu Hiko Chutai (in the strength of about 15-20 machines).
