The SAS was created back in World War II.
I've read somewhere that its founder, a British Army lieutenant named David Stirling, had called the newly established commando unit "Special Air Service" in order to deceive the Nazis into thinking that the SAS was bigger and better equipped than it really was at the time. In truth, the SAS had no dedicated air assets back in 1941 and airborne insertions were not yet among the elite unit's stronger points.
Stirling was promoted to the rank of captain not long after.
