Air Force (National Revolutionary Army)

The Air Force (Chinese: 空軍), functioned as the military aviation branch associated de jure with the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) of the National Government of the Republic of China.

While administratively a subordinate entity under the Aviation Affairs Commission (Chinese: 航空委員會), which itself formed part of the overarching Military Affairs Commission, the Air Force operated with significant autonomy and was, in practice, regarded as a near-independent service branch. Although there was no formal designation such as "Republic of China Air Force" (Chinese: 中華民國空軍) or "National Revolutionary Army Air Force" (Chinese: 國民革命軍空軍) during this period, the force was universally known by its official name: the Air Force.

The Command Post of the Air Force (Chinese: 空軍指揮部), whose commanding position—titled Commander of the Air Force (Chinese: 空軍總指揮)—was staffed by an army general rather than an officer from a separate air branch. No unique air marshal rank or parallel command hierarchy existed, underscoring its theoretical status as a subset of the NRA.
