The Second Honduran Civil War (Spanish: Segunda guerra civil hondureña), also known as the Reclamation Revolution (Spanish: Revolución Reivindicatoria), was a civil war that took place in Honduras in 1924. This was the first conflict in Honduras where airplanes were used for aerial bombardment, and new war tactics inherited from the First World War were employed.
