The Vichy French Air Force (French: Vichy Armée de l'Air française), usually referred to as the Air Force of Vichy (Armée de l'air de Vichy) or Armistice Air Force (Armée de l'Air de l'armistice) for clarity, was the aerial branch of the Armistice Army of Vichy France established in the aftermath of the Fall of France in June 1940. The Vichy French Air Force existed between June 1940 and December 1942 and largely served to defend Vichy French territories abroad.
