The Royal Danish Army Flying School was first established on the 2nd of July 1912, when the B&S Monoplan was donated to the Army. This was the exact same aeroplane that Lieutenant J.B.Ussing had used when he acquired his flying certificate. The Army Flying School was situated at Klovermarken, just outside Copenhagen.

The Army Flying School only had two airplanes at the outbreak of World War I. It proved very difficult obtaining equipment during the war, but the Army arranged aerodromes at Avedore, Ringsted, Odense, Viborg and Lundtofte.

The first proper aerial wing of the Royal Danish Flying Corps, was the “Recognoscerings-eskadrille” (Spotter Wing) , established during 1923, as a result of a new government budget.

Flying at the Flying School was re-established during 1925 at Lundtofte Aerodrome, using borrowed aircraft from Dansk Luftrederi. The Flying Corp was relocated to Kastrup Lufthavn, where a Rohrbach Hangar had been erected.

The Royal Danish Flying Corps, was renamed the Royal Danish Army Flying Troops. The Flying Troops consisted of two departments, Sjælandske and Jyske, with a total of two fighter and three spotter wings, plus the flying school, technical department, the tool-shops and the balloon wing. The entire Sjælandske Eskadrille was moved to a new aerodrome at Værløse during 1934-35.
