About Navaminda Kasatriyadhiraj Royal Thai Air Force Academy

According to Wikipedia, The Navaminda Kasatriyadhiraj Royal Air Force Academy is a military academy for officer cadets of the Royal Thai Air Force. History In 1950, the Royal Air Force started recruiting officers who completed their training from other institutions to work in the air force. Over time, as the number of military operations increased, the air force saw a need to build an air force academy to specifically train new cadets. In the same year, the Directorate of Education and Training of the RTAF proposed to the commander for the creation of such an academy and this was approved by the cabinet on 14 November 1952. The academy was officially opened on 7 May 1953 as the Royal Thai Air Force Academy, with the first intake of 30 cadets. The academy was then moved to its current location on 24 June 1963 near Don Muang Royal Thai Air Force Base. In 2013, King Bhumibol Adulyadej renamed the academy as the Navaminda Kasatriyadhiraj Royal Air Force Academy, in commemoration of the academy's 60th year.
