The department was likely responsible for the Canadian Aviation Corps (which was under the Canadian Expeditionary Force) during World War I from 1914 to 1915 and the early Canadian Air Force from 1918 to 1920.
In 1923 the National Defence Act merged the post of Minister of Militia and Defence with the Minister of the Naval Service. The re-emerged in World War II as the Minister of National Defence for Air (Canada).
