Royal Air Force
The Royal Air Force (RAF) is the United Kingdom's aerial warfare force. Formed towards the end of the First World War on 1 April 1918, it is the oldest independent air force in the world. Following victory over the Central Powers in 1918 the RAF emerged as, at the time, the largest air force in the world. Since its formation, the RAF has taken a significant role in British military history, in particular, playing a large part in the Second World War where it fought its most famous campaign, the Battle of Britain (1940).

Battle of Britain was the greatest air battle in human history. Pitos of UK defended their country from German nazi Luftwaffe. Brits won the hard battle also thanks to the foreign pilots from Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, USA, Canada, AU, NZ and from many other countries.
