Celebrating a 100th anniversary is an amazing achievement, and the history of our Royal Air Force is made up of just that. Amazing achievements, undertaken by amazing people; the pioneers from our formation; those that stood firmly against aerial bombardment; the brave men and women on operations all over the world today; and the future generations who will carry that legacy into our next 100 years. | Royal Air Force

100 years ago today, King George V signed the Air Force (Constitution) Act 1917 into law which authorised the formation of the Royal Air Force. Today we commemorate the courage, service and sacrifice of the pioneers who laid the foundation for the creation of today’s RAF. | Royal Air Force
