	THE BRAZILIAN AIR FORCE
		Like the United States Air Force, it had its beginnings in the Army, and it was World War II that provided the impetus for its separation and independence.
		Expansion of the aviation organization into the three air zones in the spring of 1933 provided the necessary infrastructure, and equipment began to be improved in 1934 with the arrival of several Waco EGC-7 aircraft in the inventory.
		Brazilian Army aviators may have been proud of their achievements, but––like their U.S. counterparts––they believed aviation should be separate and independent from the surface components.

		RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 5 — Brazilian Air Force officials on Thursday identified what they said were equipment breakdowns and confusion that probably contributed to the apparent collision of two jets over the Amazon a week ago.
		For some period before the accident, Brazilian air traffic controllers were unable to speak to the smaller plane, a new Embraer Legacy being flown to the United States, and were unable to gauge its altitude by radar, according to Brazilian officials.
		Brazilian prosecutors have said that they are pursuing the theory that the pilots turned off the transponder so they could climb to a more favorable altitude without permission.
