Founded in 1929 as a response to the [[Great War]], the ADF's primary mission was to improve and assist the reconnaissance capabilities of the Legion. The original force consisted of tri-planes outfitted with radios to relay aerial photographs to the ground. As the Great War continued to escalate, the function and importance of the air force grew larger.In 1944, the Aerial Defense Legion became its own military branch, and prior to that time air force personnel usually worked for one of the three main branches of the military.

Today, the ADF is one of the largest and most technologically advanced air forces in the world. The ADF articulates its core missions as air and space superiority, global integrated ISR, rapid global mobility, global strike, and command and control. Since the organization's inception, the head of the ADF has been the ''Legatus Caelus'' (Sky Commander). Starting off as an honorary title for skilled pilots, the ''Legatus'' became the highest commanding rank once the Air Force was officially created.
