Resumen
En una de las acciones más determinantes para acabar con la larga y agotadora guerra que España mantenía en el protectorado de Marruecos, el Directorio Militar del dictador Miguel Primo de Rivera rescató una postergada propuesta de ataque al corazón de la rebelión rifeña, realizando un desembarco en la bahía de Alhucemas1. En 1925 la aviación militar había evolucionado de forma imparable tras la Primera Guerra Mundial y los conflictos coloniales que mantenían las potencias europeas en Asia y África. En la operación anfibia iban a participar, por primera vez y de forma combinada, medios aéreos, navales y terrestres de dos países. Para llevarla a cabo con éxito y teniendo en consideración el fracaso que supuso el desembarco de Galípoli, diez años atrás durante la Gran Guerra, los estados mayores de Francia y España pusieron gran empeño en no cometer los mismos errores. En esta ocasión contaban con un arma nueva, la aeronáutica naval y militar.
El objeto principal de este trabajo es investigar y analizar las nuevas formas de uso que se dio a la aviación, su adaptación y perfeccionamiento a las peculiaridades del conflicto en el norte de África, poniendo el foco en el momento cumbre de la campaña: el desembarco de Alhucemas de 1925 y las operaciones que condujeron a la pacificación del Protectorado. España se presentaba como pionera en muchas de las prácticas y avances en aeronáutica militar, llevando al arma de aviación a las más altas cotas de prestaciones que conducirían a un nuevo concepto: el poder aéreo.
In one of the most decisive actions to end the long and exhausting war that Spain was maintaining in the protectorate of Morocco, the Militar Directory of the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera rescued a postponed proposal to attack the heart of the Riffian rebellion, carrying out a landing in the bay of Al Hoceima. In 1925, military aviation had evolved unstoppably after the First World War and the colonial conflicts maintained by the European powers in Asia and Africa. Air, naval and land assets from two countries were going to participate in the amphibious operation, for the first time and in a combined manner. To carry it out successfully and taking into consideration the failure of the Gallipoli landings ten years ago during the Great War, the general staffs of France and Spain made great efforts to not make the same mistakes. On this occasion they had a new weapon, naval and military aeronautics. The main objective of this work is to investigate and analyze the new forms of use that were given to aviation, its adaptation and improvement to the peculiarities of the conflict in North Africa, focusing on the peak moment of the campaign: the landing of Al Hoceima in 1925 and the operations that led to the pacification of the Protectorate. Spain presented itself as a pioneer in many of the practices and advances in military aeronautics, taking aviation weapons to the highest levels of performance that would lead to a new concept: the airpower.
