I hope you meant the RAF. There is no RIF. The Royal Air Force exists today. During World War 2 they were known as the RAAF, Royal Army Air Force.AnswerThe original answer is incorrect, as there has never been a 'Royal Army Air Force'. The letters, 'RAAF', represents the Royal Australian Air Force!The Royal Air Force was formed in 1918, by amalgamating the Royal Flying Corps (essentially part of the British Army), and the Royal Naval Air Service (part of the Royal Navy). This is one of the reasons that the RAF rank insignia is based on that of the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy still retains an independent air wing, called the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). And, yes, the RAF does exist today.
The RAF was formed on 1st April 1918 (Yep...No April fools Joke) by the amalgamation of the royal flying corp (Army air corp) and the Naval air service. It is the youngest and by far the most civillised armed service, commonly called the 'gentlemans armed service' as apposed to the army and navy where the conscrips of criminals and vagabonds were commonly 'called' upon to fill the ranks.
