  Battle of Crete - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The guns were carefully concealed, often in nearby olive groves, and some were ordered to hold their fire during the initial assault so that they would not immediately reveal themselves to German fighters and dive-bombers.
As a direct consequence, the Royal Air Force (RAF) was given responsibility for defending its own bases from ground and air attack.
The RAF Regiment was formed on 1 February 1942 to meet this requirement — a mission which it continues to this day — and many other services, notably the United States Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force have developed similar organisations.
