The Langley Air Force (LAF) is the air force of the Duchy of Langley. The heaviest-decorated branch of the Langley Armed Forces, the LAF first rose to prominence as the Ashford Commonwealth Air Force (ACAF) during the Second Great War; from independence in 1948 until Duchess Asuka's ascension to the throne in 1955, it was known as the Royal Ashford Air Force (RAAF).
