The Chinese Nationalist Air Force was formed by the Kuomingtang after the establishment of the Aviation Ministry in 1920. As tensions mounted between the China and Imperial Japan in the 1930s, a number of smaller Chinese warlord airforce' men and equipment became integrated into the ROCAF in a centralized effort to counter Imperial Japanese military ambitions.

After the Communist victory in China, the CNAF was renamed the Republic of China Air Force.
