DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a "Make That Plan happen" thread. Please do not even think about bringing up that plan. Thank you.

in August 1917, General Jan Smuts presented his paper on the use of Air Power in strategic warfare, a decision was made to spin off the Royal Flying Corps and part of the Royal Naval Air Service into the Royal Air Force. But what would be the consequences if that desicion was not made, if Smuts' paper is dismissed. The Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service remain intact
and end WWI as integral parts of their Parent services?
