Air Ministry Departments and Personnel - 1918
[1919 | 1920 - 1929 | 1930 - 1936 | Jul 1937 | Jul 1938 | Jan 1939 | Sep 1939 | Dec 1939 | Apr 1940 | Aug 1940 | Jul 1941 | Jul 1942 | Jul 1943 | Jul 1944 | Jul 1945]
[Aug 1918 | Sep 1918 | Oct 1918 | Nov 1918]
With the passing of the Air Force (Constitution) Act in November 1917, the way was paved for the establishment of an Air Ministry to control Britain's Air Services (RFC & RNAS), which would be amalgamated to form a new single Royal Air Force. The Air Ministry itself came into being on 1 January 1918 and immediately began the planning for forthcoming merger, which took place on 1 April 1918. The personnel allocations to the new ministry were not listed until August 1918. At this point emphasis was totally on military aviation in connection with the continuing conflict.
