It is estimated that a total of 2.77054 Megatons of bombs were dropped in WW2 and about 48% were done alone by the RAF.
The RAF was formed towards the end o WW1 on 1 April 1918.
there were 100,000 RAF (royal air force) pilots in the World War II and 90,000 died in the war
It was safer and they had great training area. Also, many of the RAF pilots were Americans and Canadians. Some of the Americans did not serve with the US Army Air Corp and stayed with the RAF Army Air Corps through the entire war.
The Royal Air Force, better known as the RAF.
The RAF has used many dozens of type of aircraft. You are probably tthinking of the famous Spitfires.
Spitfires were designed for the RAF by RJ Mitchel. They belonged to Britain but were sold to other countries. But they were mainly used in England
Spitfires were operational in the RAF for over 12 years. From 1938 to 1951
In May/June 1938, the RAF's 19 Squadron got the first Spitfires in service
4000 planes The RAF had about 600 hurricanes and spitfires at the start of the BoB Incidentally about a 100 Italian planes attacked the UK when it was all over bar the shouting
Well over 8,000 Spitfires survived the war. The RAF kept 2-300 and gave many to Commonwealth Air Forces in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and Rhodesia. - Sadly, thousands were scrapped, as happened to many warplanes when war was done.
"Spitfires" were the main "fighter" planes. "Hurricanes" were important too, particularly during the "Battle of Britain". There were several other fighter planes too. There were also several types of "bombers" and other planes.
I'm presuming that you're asking after the British/English air force - they were called the RAF (Royal Air Force) and primarily flew Spitfires and Hurricanes.
The RAF and USAAF and Royal Canadian Airforce used many Spitfires, P51s, Typhoons, Marauders, Lancasters, B17s, and B24s on the early morning of D-Day. These aircraft were all made by American and British aircraft companies.
The Spitfire was an RAF fighter.
