The CAF Air Force is one of the member branches of the Armed Forces of the Catam Pon.

History

The CAFAF was founded in 1922 upon the de jure independence of Catam Pon, where it was composed of what few planes had been left over by the Aquatilean regime. In the time since, it has grown rapidly in conjunction with the economy of Catam. While some aircraft are produced within the country, many are jointly produced with other foreign nations and companies.

The air force has also taken part in all of Catam's past wars and campaigns, including the "Catam Emergency" (1939-52), the 1949 "National" coup, the Karax Wars (1948-52, 1963-66, 1968-70, 1981-87, 2001), and various anti-piracy and peacekeeping missions.
