There is only 1 RFC that I am aware of that had anything to do with WW2, it was an abbreviation of "Reconstruction Finance Corporation". Info is from the link below.



"It was an independent agency of the US Government. The RFC corporations (there were 8)assisted the war effort as needed. These corporations were involved in funding the development of synthetic rubber, construction and operation of a tin smelter, and establishment of abaca (Manila hemp) plantations in Central America. Both natural rubber and abaca (used to produce rope products) were produced primarily in south Asia, which came under Japanese control. Thus, these programs encouraged the development of alternative sources of supply of these essential materials. Synthetic rubber, which was not produced in the United States prior to the war, quickly became the primary source of rubber in the post-war years.



Other war-related activities included financing plant conversion and construction for the production of military and essential goods, to deal and stockpile strategic materials, to purchase materials to reduce the supply available to enemy nations, to administer war damage insurance programs, and to finance construction of oil pipelines from Texas to New Jersey to free tankers for other uses.



During its existence, RFC management made discretionary loans and investments of $38.5 billion, of which $33.3 billion was actually disbursed. Of this total, $20.9 billion was disbursed to the RFC's wartime subsidiaries. From 1941 through 1945, the RFC authorized over $2 billion of loans and investments each year, with a peak of over $6 billion authorized in 1943. The magnitude of RFC lending had increased substantially during the war. Most lending to wartime subsidiaries ended in 1945, and all such lending ended in 1948.



Hope this is what you were looking for, best of luck!

In relation to World War 2 I do not know but the RFC was the Royal Flying Corps (England) in World War 1. If you're not referring to that than I don't know.

The RFC doesm't relate to WW2, it relates to WW1.

When Britain first created an air force back in 1912 they called it the Royal Flying Corps... after WW1 ended the name was changed to Royal Air Force in 1918.

You're probably one world war off :) There was no 'RFC' in WW2, closest is the DFC medal which stood for Distinguished Flying Cross.
