The '''Australian Flying Corps''' (AFC) was the branch of the [[Australian Army]] responsible for operating aircraft during [[World War I]], and is the forerunner of the [[Royal Australian Air Force]] (RAAF). The AFC was established in 1912, though it was not until 1914 that it began training flights. During World War I elements of the AFC saw combat in the Middle East and France as part of the British [[Royal Flying Corps]] (RFC). In addition, a training wing was established in the [[United Kingdom]]. Following the war, the AFC returned to Australia in 1919 and was disbanded in order to form the '''Australia Air Corps'''. This service was separated from the Army in 1921 and became the independent RAAF. |
