Republic of China Air Force
The Republic of China Air Force is the military aviation branch of the Republic of China Armed Forces, based in Taiwan since 1949. The ROCAF was founded in 1920 by the Kuomintang. While its historical name is sometimes used especially in domestic circles, it is not used as often internationally due to the current ambiguous political status of Taiwan and to avoid confusion with the People's Liberation Army Air Force of the People's Republic of China (PRC).
