<p>In the present-day RAF, air commodores typically hold senior appointments within <a href="Group_(air_force)" class="mw-redirect" title="Group (air force)">groups</a>, acting directly in support of the <a href="Air_officer_commanding" title="Air officer commanding">air officer commanding</a>. However, during the inter-war period, and in the case of the contemporary <a href="No._83_Expeditionary_Air_Group_(United_Kingdom)" class="mw-redirect" title="No. 83 Expeditionary Air Group (United Kingdom)">No. 83 Expeditionary Air Group</a>, the air officer commanding held or holds air commodore rank. In the <a href="Air_Training_Corps" title="Air Training Corps">Air Training Corps</a>, an appointed air commodore holds ultimate authority over the cadet organisation as the <a href="Commandant_Air_Cadets" title="Commandant Air Cadets">Commandant Air Cadets</a>.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Origins">Origins</h3></div>

<p>On 1 April 1918, the newly created RAF adopted its officer rank titles from the <a href="British_Army" title="British Army">British Army</a>, with officers at what is now air commodore holding the rank of <a href="Brigadier-general" class="mw-redirect" title="Brigadier-general">brigadier-general</a>. In response to the proposal that the RAF should use its own rank titles, it was suggested that the RAF might use the <a href="Royal_Navy_officer_rank_insignia" title="Royal Navy officer rank insignia">Royal Navy's officer ranks</a>, with the word "air" inserted before the naval rank title. Although the <a href="British_Admiralty" class="mw-redirect" title="British Admiralty">Admiralty</a> objected to this simple modification of their rank titles, it was agreed that the RAF might base many of its officer rank titles on Navy officer ranks with differing pre-modifying terms. It was also suggested that <a href="Air_officer" title="Air officer">air-officer</a> ranks could be based on the term "ardian", which was derived from a combination of the <a href="Goidelic_languages" title="Goidelic languages">Gaelic</a> words for "chief" (<i>ard</i>) and "bird" (<i>eun</i>), with the term "fourth ardian" or "flight ardian" being used for the equivalent to brigadier-general and commodore. However, the rank title based on the Navy rank was preferred and air commodore was adopted in August 1919.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="RAF_insignia,_command_flag_and_star_plate">RAF insignia, command flag and star plate</h3></div>

<p>The rank insignia is a light-blue band on a broad black band worn on both the lower sleeves of the tunic or on the shoulders of the flying suit or the casual uniform. On the <a href="Mess_dress" class="mw-redirect" title="Mess dress">mess uniform</a>, air commodores wear a broad gold ring on both lower sleeves.

</p><p>The command flag of an air commodore has one narrow red band running through the centre and is rectangular with a cut-away section giving it two tails. It is the only RAF command flag of this shape and it is similar in shape to that of a Royal Navy commodore's <a href="Broad_pennant" title="Broad pennant">broad pennant</a>. The vehicle star plate for an air commodore depicts a single white star (air commodore is equivalent to a one-star rank) on an air force blue background. RAF air commodores are classed as <a href="Air_officer" title="Air officer">air officers</a> and as such have two rows of <a href="Scrambled_egg_(uniform)" title="Scrambled egg (uniform)">gold oak leaves</a> on the peak of their service dress hats.

<p>The <a href="Monarchy_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Monarchy of the United Kingdom">reigning monarch</a> may appoint honorary air commodores for RAF flying squadrons and stations. For example, <a href="Charles%2C_Prince_of_Wales" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles, Prince of Wales">King Charles III</a> is <a href="RAF_Valley" title="RAF Valley">RAF Valley</a>'s honorary air commodore and <a href="Winston_Churchill" title="Winston Churchill">Winston Churchill</a> was <a href="No._615_Squadron_RAF" class="mw-redirect" title="No. 615 Squadron RAF">615 Squadron</a>'s honorary air commodore.<sup id="cite_ref-TimesChurchillUniform_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TimesChurchillUniform-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As the title suggests, this is an honorary position bestowed by the reigning monarch and it does not grant the recipient command of a unit or formation. It is designed to strengthen the bond between the military unit and the individual and promote the role of the air force among the public.

</p><p>Serving officers may be granted an equivalent appointment to the honorary rank. In such cases the individual is made an honorary air commandant and they retain their regular rank.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Larger air force organisations or formations may be honoured by having an <a href="Air_commodore-in-chief" title="Air commodore-in-chief">air commodore-in-chief</a> appointed in their name. These RAF appointments are rare and to date (2020) have been given to just five senior members of the royal family, of whom three were reigning or <a href="Prince_of_Wales" title="Prince of Wales">future</a> monarchs of the United Kingdom. Air commodore-in-chief is not a rank and such an appointment does not convey the rank of air commodore upon the recipient.
