Do you really believe that ONE borrowed aircraft from Sweden compares to the Royal Air Force (22,000 aircraft, 300,000 officers and men in November 1918)? Further that the RAF cannot claim to be the world’s first independent air force when it was officially formed on 1st April 1918 because it was beaten to it by twenty-five days by the Finnish Air Force with one borrowed aeroplane!??
With ONE aircraft they couldn’t even claim to be a Flying Club!!!
PS. it’s “Finnish” with 2x “n”
