Royal Naval Air Service

The Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) var Royal Navys flygstridskrafter 1914-1918.

Organisatorisk översikt Mellan 1912 och 1914 tillhörde marinflyget Royal Flying Corps, som dess Naval Wing. 1914 överfördes det till Royal Navy under namnet Royal Naval Air Service. Denna slogs 1918 samman med Royal Flying Corps till Royal Air Force. Flottan fick under 1920-30-talen lita till RAF för flygunderstöd, något som med tiden visade sig vara otillfredsställande. 1937 bildades därför Fleet Air Arm.
