Air Officer

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

An Air Officer is a British Royal Air Force officer of rank Air Commodore or higher. The term is also used by many Commonwealth nations who have a similar rank structure to the RAF.

It is equivalent in concept to a flag officer in navies and a general officer in armies and marine corps. However, in the British Armed Forces, while an air commodore is an air officer, his Royal Navy equivalent (Commodore) is not considered a flag officer, nor is his British Army or Royal Marines equivalent (Brigadier) considered a general officer. In some other countires, army and navy 1 star officers are respecively considered to be general and flag officers.
