It almost came into existence when the aircraft carrier German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin was laid down in 1936 , but lack of suitable aircraft , coupled with the reluctance of the " Luftwaffe " to support the " Kriegsmarine " in the carrier ' s construction , culminated in its eventual cancellation in 1943 , and all anti - ship operations were transferred to the " Luftwaffe " shortly afterwards . After the Second World War , it was not until West Germany ' s entry into NATO in the 1950s and the establishment of the " Bundesmarine " , that a naval aviation force ( " Marineflieger " ) was formed . The British were largely instrumental in creation of the Marineflieger , supplying training and aircraft . A number of Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm ( FAA ) officers operated as part of the German Navy in the process . The first aircraft included Hawker Sea Hawk s which were used by " Marinefliegergeschwader " 1 and 2 and Fairey Gannet s . Until the new bases were ready , pilots were trained with the FAA in the UK . Aircraft . The Marineflieger operates the following aircraft ; See also . Luftschiffer

In September 1997 after the evaluation of new combat aircraft the RAFO decided to upgrade and extend the service lives of its remaining 17 SEPECAT Jaguar ground attack fighters until the second decade of the 21st centuary .

Aimery first entered Italy in the service of Charles I of Anjou , who had been granted the Sicilian crown by Pope Clement IV in 1265 . Guiraut Riquier , last of the Occitan troubadours , was employed by Aimery . By 1289 , Aimery had so distinguished himself that he was put in command of the Guelph troops massed to attack the Ghibellines of Arezzo . During that campaign , the two armies met at the Battle of Campaldino and Aimery won the victory on which his reputation rests . He conquered most of the Aretine countryside , taking many castles by storm , from to the gates of Arezzo itself . This , however , he failed to take by siege , as the Aretines made several valiant sorties which successfully destroyed his siege engines . The campaign was nevertheless a success and Aimery was received triumphantly upon his return to Florence , where he was the representative of Charles II of Naples . Aimery married Joanna , daughter of Jordan IV of L ' Isle - Jourdain . The Italian form of his name became popular in Tuscany for centuries after his success at Campaldino and it was via a Tuscan named Amerigo Vespucci that two continents — the Americas — received their names .
