Welcome

Forged in the crucible of the First World War, the Royal Air Force was officially formed on 1 April, 1918. The story of the RAF has shaped the modern world. By inspiring technological development, pioneering cultural change and pushing the boundaries of human achievement, the RAF has touched the lives of millions around the globe.

The RAF Museum’s Storyvault will be developed to allow us to capture and share these extraordinary stories – stories of ordinary Service men and women who upheld the RFC motto: Per ardua ad astra (Through adversity to the stars) both through the theatre of war and maintaining peace.

As we mark the centenary of the First World War, please click through to explore our digitised archives of conflict casualty cards, the 1918 muster roll and 1918 Air Force List along with some of the personal histories of airmen of the Royal Flying Corps. ...
