The Commemorative Air Force (CAF), formerly known as the Confederate Air Force, is a Texas-based non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and showing historical aircraft at airshows throughout the U.S. and Canada primarily.

The original name, Confederate Air Force, started as a simple joke. As the collection of "warbirds" at Rebel Field started to grow, someone painted the name on the side of one of the planes. The name stuck. In 2002 it changed its name to Commemorative Air Force because several corporate sponsors found the word "Confederate" questionable and threatened to pull their sponsorship monies.

The origins of the CAF date back to 1951, when Lloyd Nolen, an ex-USAAF Instructor Pilot, purchased a war surplus P-40 Warhawk. The group that would become the Confederate Air Force first got together in 1957, when four friends along with Nolen joined forces to purchase a P-51 Mustang.
