Although the GPR's militias had used aircraft both before and after the GPR's takeover of the planet, in , the Victorian Independent State, at the request of the Republic, sent Major Philip Quinn as a military adviser. Presenting a proposal to the Republic's government, Quinn stated that he could form an aerial arm of the GPR to provide aerial support for out-of-the-way militia units that would otherwise be cut off entirely from the rest of the colony.
Quinn's proposal was accepted, and he oversaw the Air Service's creation, obtaining two trainers from the VIS as part of the trade deal they had with Glabetov, and various other aircraft from their owners on the colony through various incentives instituted by the government.

In order to escape to the frontier, most of the Air Service's planes were flown out to the frontier, where they were either hidden by their crew in hopes they could be used again, or destroyed.
