Royal Air Force (RAF) is the United Kingdom’s air force, the oldest independent air force in the world which was formed on 1 April 1918. The RAF has taken a significant role in British military history ever since, playing a large part in World War II and in more recent conflicts.

The RAF’s mission is to support the objectives of the British Ministry of Defence (MoD), which are to “provide the capabilities needed: to ensure the security and defence of the United Kingdom and overseas territories, including against terrorism; to support the Government’s foreign policy objectives particularly in promoting international peace and security.”

The RAF’s own mission statement reads as thus, to provide (paraphrase) “An agile, adaptable and capable Air Force that, person for person, is second to none, and that makes a decisive air power contribution in support of the UK Defence Mission.”
