The Royal Air Force (RAF) is the British air force established on April 1, 1918. It was the world's first independent air force, playing a key role in military history, particularly during the Battle of Britain in World War II. During the Cold War, the RAF evolved, introducing modern jet aircraft and distinctive paint schemes that this set replicates.
