The Royal Air Force, abbreviated RAF, is a branch of the British Armed Forces. The RAF supported Allied soldiers throughout the Western European, Pacific and North African fronts of the Second World War, and playing an integral part in the defense of Britain itself in what has been referred to as the Battle of Britain.

Formed in 1918, it is the world's oldest independent air force.

Battlefield 1942[]

The Royal Air Force are a faction in Battlefield 1942. Unlike the Afrika Korps, the RAF is not technically a separate faction from the British Army, and have the same soldier appearance, as well as infantry and vehicle loadouts. However, they are explicitly mentioned in the description of the Battle of Britain as being the Allied faction on that map, opposing the German Luftwaffe. They also appear (although unmentioned) on maps where the British have aircraft, such as El Alamein.
