  Chapter 9 (pp 391-428)
At the end of October 1950, the aviation of the KPA and CPV, with a goal of guaranteeing the successful implementation of the mission of protecting objects and lines of communication in rear areas, were combined into the Unified Air Army (OVA).
Part of the aviation forces was assigned to destroy the fighter-bombers on distant approaches to the protected objects in the rear area and for clearing blockades of friendly airfields.
In 1952, due to the increase in the size of OVA Aviation and the switch by the USA to operations by small groups of aircraft over a broad front, it caused partial decentralization of command and control of aviation combat operations.
