Just how much do we know about the forces involved in the airwar during WW2? Here's a (incomplete) list of the Air Forces involved in the fight against the Axis powers. Feel free to contribute information of a force(s) that you have:

British Empire/Dominion Air Forces:
Royal Air Force/Fleet Air Arm
Royal Canadian Air Force
Royal Australian Air Force
Royal New Zealand Air Force
South African Air Force (I don't think they ever had the prefix Royal)
Indian Air Force (the prefix Royal was only given in 1945 - hence a lot of documents use IAF)
Rhodesian Air Force

European Exiled Air Forces
Polish Air Force
Royal Norwegian Air Force
Royal Danish Army Air Corps
Armée de l'Air/Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres/
Hellenic Royal Air Force
Royal Netherlands Air Force
Czechoslovak Air Force

Allied Air Forces:
Republic of China Air Force
Royal Egyptian Air Force
Força Aérea Brasileira

And of course, the United States, with their various aviation branches.
