RAF Coastal Command was a formation within the Royal Air Force (RAF). Founded in 1936, it was to act as the RAF maritime arm, after the Fleet Air Arm became part of the Royal Navy in 1937. Naval aviation was neglected in the inter-war period, 1919–1939, and as a consequence the service did not receive the resources it needed to develop properly or efficiently. This continued until the outbreak of the Second World War, during which it came to prominence. Owing to the Air Ministry's concentration on RAF Fighter Command and RAF Bomber Command, Coastal Command was often referred to as the "Cinderella Service", a phrase first used by the First Lord of the Admiralty at the time A V Alexander.

  • Le Coastal Command était une formation militaire appartenant à la Royal Air Force (RAF). Créée en 1936, elle devait assumer les missions aériennes maritimed de la RAF, après le transfert de la Fleet Air Arm à la Royal Navy en 1937. L'aviation navale fut négligée pendant l'entre-deux-guerres, de 1919 à 1939, et fut privée des ressources nécessaires à sa mise en place et à la réalisation de ses missions. Cette situation perdura jusqu'au déclenchement de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, durant laquelle son importance fut reconnue. Le ministère de l'Air (Air Ministry) ayant choisi d'accorder la priorité aux besoins des Fighter Command et Bomber Command, Coastal Command fut souvent désigné par le sobriquet du « Service Cendrillon » ("Cinderella Service"), expression initialement utilisée par le Prem (fr)
