I guess it means "Royal Air Force", though I would go for "Liftmight"
myself.  Like most by-leids, Ander-Saxon is not yet fastened down.  There
are well-made wordbooks at http://anglish.wikia.com/wiki/English_Wordbook
and http://anglish.wikia.com/wiki/Anglish_wordbook by which the
"References" section might well be eked.

I would shift the names in this row to be sundered rows marked with
"Description", and move "a form of English using only Old English roots"
to "Comments".

his own skull; therefore he draws near to the foredrafting work in full
meekness, and among other things he shuns clever pranks like the blight.
