Yes South African Airforce was formed this day in 1920

It is the 2nd oldest Airforce in the World :D
its motto is Per Aspera Ad Astra (Through adversity to the stars). An official slogan, Through Diversity To Airpower Excellence, is also used. The origin of the South African Air Force can be traced back to 1912, when the Union Defence Force (UDF) was formed. This formation included the South African Aviation Corps (SAAC), which was formed as part of the Active Citizen Force (ACF).
