The decision to merge the two services and create an independent air force was a response to the events of World War I, the first war in which air power made a significant impact. The Royal Naval Air Service was its naval equivalent and was controlled by the Admiralty. The Royal Flying Corps had been born out of the Air Battalion of the Royal Engineers and was under the control of the British Army. The RAF was founded on 1 April 1918 by the amalgamation of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service and was controlled by the British Government Air Ministry which had been established three months earlier. While the British were not the first to make use of heavier-than-air military aircraft, the RAF is the world's oldest independent air force: the first air force to become independent of army or navy control.
