The Royal Air Force (RAF) was established on April 1, 1918, during World War I. It was created by merging the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) to form an independent air force. The initiative was driven by the need for a dedicated aerial combat and support service, reflecting the growing importance of air power in modern warfare. The first chief of the RAF was Sir Hugh Trenchard, who played a significant role in shaping its early development.
