USE AS A RANK TITLE

In some Commonwealth countries which use an air force rank structure derived from the Royal Air Force, Marshal of the Air Force is not only the most senior rank (in a generic sense), but also a rank title. The rank is usually conferred as an honour and has an identical or similar insignia to that of Marshal of the Royal Air Force.
