Who was the captain of the queen of England captain of the roytal air force in the war of 1812?
The RAF did not exist in the period of l9l2. it evolved out of the Royal Flying Corps- a branch of the Army in World War I. I believe the designation RAF but not their distinctive job-related ranks titles- ( such as Squadron Leader) first came into use in l9l6. The RN ( Royal Navy) has its own Fleet Air Arm, though the Coastal Command in World War II, which had seaplanes, was RAF not RN in personnel. Does that answer your question. Balloons were not used in l8kl2 by the miitary though they did exist.
