The Royal Chicano Air Force Poster collection was given to the CSUS Special Collections and University Archives by Ricardo
Favela in 2001.
The Royal Chicano Air Force (RCAF) is an artistic collective based in Sacramento, California. Initially formed at the California
State University, Sacramento in 1970 as the Rebel Chicano Art Front, the RCAF was founded to express the goals of the Chicano
civil rights and labor organizing movement of the United Farm Workers. The founding members of the RCAF included José Montoya,
Esteban Villa, Juan Orosco, Ricardo Favela, and Rudy Cuellar. Montoya and Villa met each other while students at the California
College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. During the Chicano Movement students pressured colleges and universities to diversify
their faculties. As a result, Villa was hired as a professor of art in 1969 and Montoya as professor of art eduction in 1970
at CSUS. Their academic positions gave them the creative freedom to initiate programmatic exchanges between the university
and the community. Through this effort they initiated many programs including the Barrio Art Program, which required university
students to go out into the community, including senior centers, to teach art courses. The RCAF moved off-campus in 1972 and
established the not-for-profit organization, Centro de Artistas Chicanos. Its mission was to make available to the Chicano
community a bilingual/bicultural arts center where artists could come together to exchange ideas, provide mutual support,
and make available posters, educational programs and cultural events to the public. The RCAF artists are best known for their
mural paintings, poster art production, and individual artistic contributions. The artists of the Centro produced murals and
exhibited throughout the U.S. Southwest. Over the ensuing years, the RCAF became the umbrella for various Sacramento community
programs, such as the Aeronaves de Aztlán (Automotive Repair Garage), RCAF Danzantes (Aztec Dance group), Barrio Art Program,
and the RCAF Graphics and Design Center. In 1977, the Centro de Artistas Chicanos and Breakfast for Niños Program (a community
non-profit organization that fed children before school) joined other community organizations, such as La Raza Bookstore (with
its Galería Posada) and the Alkali Redevelopment Office, to create the Cultural Affairs Committee. The CAC organized annual
community cultural events, including the Fiesta de Colores (March), Dia de la Madres (May), Fiesta de Maiz (June), Dia de
los Muertos (November) and Operation Christmas Unity (December). While the "RCAF" originally stood for the “Rebel Chicano
Art Front,” people confused the letters with the acronym for the Royal Canadian Air Force. The artists recognized the humor
within the misunderstanding and adopted the name Royal Chicano Air Force. This new identity found its way into their wardrobe,
as well as their highly successful silkscreen poster program, which began to disseminate the World War I aviator and barnstorming
bi-winged planes as icons. Throughout its history, the RCAF gained a well-deserved reputation for outrageous humor, screenprint
posters, murals, and community activism.

Conditions Governing Access note
Collection is open for research.
The Royal Chicano Air Force Poster Collection consists of 171 screenprints produced from 1970s through 2001. The collection
consists of prints created by artists associated with the collective and spans three “generations:” professors, José Montoya
and Estevan Villa; their CSUS students, Rodolfo “Rudy” Cuellar, Ricardo Favela, Louie “The Foot” Gonzalez, Juan Orosco; and
the apprentices in the community, including Raul Suarez, Francisco González, and members of the Impudent Young Pilots (Jesus
Barela, David Buenrostro, Ruben Lerma, José Lott, José Felipe Magdaleno, and Pascual Marquez.)
The collection was appraised in 2001. The identification of creators in this collection is based upon the original appraisal
report. Posters are arranged by artist’s last name, then by year. In the case of multiple artists, items are arranged by the
year of creation, then alphabetized by the title. Poster entries indicated with an asterisk (*) refers to the possibility
of multiple artists.
The print collection is representative of the prolific production of the RCAF, especially during the late 1970s. The majority
of prints are by practicing artists, but a few are by university students. Reflective of their community focus, the posters
serve as announcements for a broad range of community activities, including fundraising dances, cultural events, United Farm
Worker initiatives, and university and college programs. Artistically, the technical aspects of the posters range from simple
one-color posters to elaborate multi-colored and photosilkscreen prints.
