RFC cadet training in a moving plataform
Royal Flying Corps pilot cadet practicing deflection shooting from a moving platform installed on rails and launched at high speed, RAF Gunnery School between Rang-du-Fliers and Verton, 17 July 1918. The Royal Flying Corps (RFC) was the air branch of the British Army before and during World War One, until 1918, when the Royal Naval Air Service and the RFC united to form the RAF. During the first months of war, the RFC supported the British Army by artillery co-operation and photographic reconnaissance. As the enemy was doing the same, it gradually led RFC pilots into aerial battles with German pilots and later in the war included the strafing of enemy infantry and emplacements, several bombings of German cities, airfields and factories. In 1914, the RFC had approximately 2,000 personnel, five years later, the RAF had 114,000 personnel in service distributed in 150 squadrons.
