The Iraqi Air Force (IQAF) (Arabic: القوة الجوية العراقية; Al Quwwa al
Jawwiya al Iraqiya) is the aerial warfare service branch of the
Iraqi
Armed Forces. The Iraqi Air
Force was founded as RIrAF (The Royal Iraqi Air Force) on April 22,
1931 during the British rule of Iraq. Before the creation of the
new air force, the RAF Iraq Command was in charge of all British Armed
Forces elements in Iraq in the 1920s and early 1930s. After the 14
July Revolution in 1958 the Iraqi Air Force (IQAF) dropped the "Royal" from its name.
