During the early part of the war, the RFC’s main responsibilities were artillery spotting and photographic reconnaissance. This work gradually led RFC pilots into aerial battles with enemy pilots engaged in similar activities. Fighter squadrons were soon formed to protect the observation aircraft and attack enemy planes.
As the war progressed the RFC strafed enemy trenches and bombed airfields, transportation networks and industrial facilities.
In these various roles the RFC took part in nearly all the major battles of the First World War (1914-18) and served in all the main theatres.
