Best Answer

The compound noun 'air force' is only a proper noun when it is used for a specific air force. For example:

Do we have an air force? Yes we do, the US Air Force. How do I join the Air Force? You visit an Air Force recruiter. Do other countries have an air force? Yes, most countries today do have an air force.

Note: The use of the capitalized noun Air Force is referring to a specific air force, the US Air Force, a proper noun even if the US is not mentioned, it is inferred. The lower case use of air force is not referring to a specific air force.
