The Royal North American Flying Corps was the aerial wing of the North American Union's armed forces. Its aeroplanes were marked by a blue-white-and-red roundel.[1] The RNAFC's airplanes were regarded as fast enough to be "vulgar" by civilian men's standards, as observed by Colonel Thomas Bushell as he enjoyed lunch with some fellow airship passengers as a RNAFC fighter flew past. However, the usefulness of the planes' speed to the military was well-recognized by these same passengers.
