Accomplishments of Airpower in the Malayan Emergency, 1948-1960 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288383139)

This study has been prepared at the Aerospace Studies Institute (ASI) as part of a continuing program to examine the role of airpower in guerrilla warfare. It is one of several studies undertaken simultaneously on the conduct of guerrilla warfare in the period 1945-1960, and follows the ASJ publication, The Role of Airpower in Guerrilla Warfare (World War II), which was published in December 1962. This study emphasizes the application of airpower and only briefly treats the preponderant role of the ground forces and the contributing role of the sea forces. Although it is recognized that the entire story of the defeat of the communist terrorists is intensely interesting in itself, we have been more concerned with the employment of airpower. As a result, this study describes the Malayan Emergency in general terms and examines in detail the use of airpower to counter guerrillas
