Canadian Air Force

...Generally, the military is made up of three services: the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force. The Air Force usually uses aircraft and missiles as its main weapons, and its main stage of operations is the air and outer space. It is also used as the name of the unit in the organization of the above air forces, such as the Combat Air Forces, Pacific Air Forces, and Fifth Air Force in the United States. Air force is also used as a general term for all aviation units of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
[Corporate History]

At the start of the war, they were primarily used for reconnaissance, but they soon began to be used for aerial combat, bombing, and other purposes, drawing attention.
