Imperial Air force
The Imperial Air Force is currently undergoing immense modernisation and restructuring of its air fleet and command structure to meet the demands of air defence over Poland and Lithuania as well as its colonies. The Air Force is extensive and has a large amount of its air power stationed in the Empires overseas colonies.
