The Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps, or NSFK, was a para-military organization of the Nazi Party, founded in the early 1930s. At that time, the Treaty of Versailles prohibited Germany from owning a military air force.

The NSFK's organization was based on that of the Sturmabteilung, or SA, in terms of the hierarchy between members, a structure also found in the Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrerkorps (NSKK or “Transport Corps of the National Socialist German Workers' Party”).

In its early years, the NSKF used balloons, gliders and private aircraft. When the Nazis created the Luftwaffe, a significant number of NSKFs were transferred to it, and many of the NSKFs transferred were also members of the NSDAP, which had the effect of politicizing the Luftwaffe more than the other branches of the Wehrmacht, which remained loyal to the “Old Guard” drawn from the German aristocracy.

The Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps continued to exist even after the creation of the Luftwaffe, but with a lesser degree of importance. During the Second World War, the NSFK was involved in air defense and air defense reserves.
