The Britannian Air Force, also commonly known as the Royal Air Force or the Britannian Aeronautica, is the aerial warfare branch of the Holy Britannian armed forces. Although jet aircraft are rarely used in combat, being made essentially obsolete by Knightmares, the Air Force still uses airships, transports, and floating fortresses. It serves to help defend Britannia's airspace and also performs logistical transportation duties for the other branches of the military, especially the Britannian Army. The Air Force consists of three main branches: the Airship Command, the Fighter Command, and the Engineering Corps.
History

OrganizationEdit
The Aeronautica was headquartered in Pendragon and was under the command of the three air chiefs: the Chief of Air Staff, who oversaw the three administrative commands which were responsible for operational and strategic planning; the Secretary of Air Force Affairs, who led the Air Ministry and carried out the logistical and personnel tasks; and the Strike Commander, who had direct command of the actual fighting forces. The three of them answered to the Lord High Air Marshal, who was the overall commander-in-chief of His Majesty's Royal Air Force, and he in turn was responsible to the Emperor.
