Marine aviation officially began on May 22, 1912 when First Lieutenant Alfred A. Cunningham reported to Naval Aviation Camp in Annapolis, Maryland, "for duty in connection with aviation."[4] As the number of Marine aviators grew so did the avid desire to separate from Naval aviation[5]. It was first designated as separate from Naval aviation on January 6, 1914 when First Lieutenant Bernard L. Smith was directed to Culebra, Puerto Rico to establish the Marine Section of the Navy Flying School.
