One of the three CAMS 37 Naval Aviation hydroplanes, which were transported by the freighter "Cubango", thus becoming the first Portuguese "aircraft carrier". The hydroplanes were relevant in controlling the revolt, not only for their mission of reconnaissance and attacking the positions of the rebels, but also in their psychological actions with the launching of pamphlets.
