List of aircraft of Spain in World War II
This is a list of the aircraft of the Spanish Air Force during World War II. The main role of the Spanish airforce during World War II was to keep Spanish neutrality as can be seen when Spanish aircraft tried to keep allied aircraft out of the Spanish protectorate in Morocco during Operation Torch. This list does not show the aircraft of the Spanish volunteer Blue Squadron as they were part of the Luftwaffe in that role not the Spanish Air Force despite being Spanish pilots.
