air forces
Nations' aerial combatants
Air forces is the plural of air force, a branch of a nation's military that conducts warfare in the sky.
The term covers both the institution and its personnel: The allied air forces coordinated their bombing campaigns.
Some countries call this branch by other names—the U.S. has the Air Force, Britain has the Royal Air Force.
