The formation of BKR Air was spearheaded by former Dutch and Japanese aviators in the air base areas and assisted by youth who had never served in the field of aviation.
Pembentukan BKR udara dipelopori oleh bekas anggota penerbangan Belanda dan Jepang yang ada di daerah-daerah pangkalan udara dan dibantu oleh para pemuda yang belum pernah bertugas di bidang penerbangan.
