- The RAF underwent rapid expansion prior to and during the Second World War. Under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan of December 1939, the air forces of British Commonwealth countries trained and formed "Article XV squadrons" for service with RAF formations. Many individual personnel from these countries, and exiles from occupied Europe, also served with RAF squadrons. By the end of the war the Royal Canadian Air Force had contributed more than 30 squadrons to serve in RAF formations, similarly, approximately a quarter of Bomber Command's personnel were Canadian. Additionally, the Royal Australian Air Force represented around nine percent of all RAF personnel who served in the European and Mediterranean theatres.
Note
This is a roll up level category and should not have individual profiles. Profiles should be assigned to the branch of service when possible.
If the profile user's unit has not been created yet, or is unknown, add the profile to this category and as we review/monitor, we will create the unit category and reassign the profile to it.
Subcategories should be named using Royal Air Force, World War II and not RAF or the Military Service Stickers will not work properly.
