Air force or Navy
Swizy:
To my knowledge the Naval air force does already exist. Aircraft carrier belong to them.
Gryphos:
I think naval airforce includes airplanes operating at sea and their carriers. And I don't think calling airships a naval airforce would work because there is no airforce to go with the navy, it's just ships. And anything navy related is to do with warships. Essentially, navy = ships, airforce = planes. If there was some kind of military until of planes operating off of an airship carrier, you might call that a naval airforce.
Captain Smollett:
The united states air force didn't exist until 1947 , control of air support was under the US army.
Considering the alternate history of GOI begins around the time of WWI before most countries officially had air forces I think the better question would be.
Air Force, Navy or Army?
Swizy:
The Royal air force exists since 1918 and the Royal navy exists since the 15th century. The fleet air arm was founded even before the second world war.

Well, as I said previously, it's basically been confirmed by the Guild faction feature that military airships are referred to as the navy. And land forces would obviously be the army. The only thing I'm torn on is the area of aeroplanes. My best guess is that, since the concept of planes is probably a new or not yet perfected technology, the nations haven't come up with a definite title for their units of planes.
