On the 1st April 1918 the RAF was founded to defend King and Country - and what a great job they did so far.

The RAF most iconic machine - the Supermarine Spitfire.

It’s most controversial Commander Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harris - who ordered the fire bombing of Dresden and Hamburg.

Today’s coolest jet - the Eurofighter Typhoon (yeah I know this one has German insignia - couldn’t find a good image with RAF ones).
