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.

Women were allowed to join one year later, in 1948, with the creation of the program, Women in the Air Force (WAF). Before this, women had already been serving in the Army, under the Women's Army Corps (WAC), which was formed in 1942. During the Air Force's first year, before the creation of WAF, some women from WAC performed Air Force duties while still serving in the Army.
