Several of these airpower studies have emphasized the application of airpower under different circumstances in several areas of the world. In Greece the battles were primarily land operations against guerrillas ( often called bandits ) in the mountainous areas. Infantrymen bore the brunt of the fight for two long years while the aerial units were being readied for action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe last two chapters of this study describe the aerial phase. Prior to this, the narrative analyzes the conflict, the opposing forces, and the nature of the land engagements. Had more trained pilots and a sufficient number of aircraft been available, the Royal Rellenic Air Force ( R.H.A.F. ) could have assumed a more active role earlier than 1949. The contributions of Greek airpower are the main emphasis in this review of the Greek Guerrilla War, 1947 - 1949.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe authors used documentary material from the Federal Records Center in Alexandria, Virginia, the Air University Library, and the U.S.A.F.
