Start here. Then the Galician army joined the UPR army as an autonomous formation and even became the main force that entered Kiev on August 30, 1919. On August 31, Denikin's White Guards entered Kiev from the east. The "Black Cossacks" of Petliura quarreled with them, and the whites expelled them from the city. The Galician corps maintained neutrality, then came to an agreement with Denikin's troops and in an organized manner, with their weapons, also left the city. In fact, on that day - August 31, 1919 - the military alliance of the UPR and ZUNR ceased to exist. And there was a reason for this: the military goals of the two republics were quite different. Petliura's enemies were the Whites and the Bolsheviks, the enemies of the Galician army were the Poles, with whom Petliura would soon enter into an agreement, agreeing to Warsaw's control of western Ukraine in exchange for assistance in the fight against the Bolsheviks. But that will come a little later. And in the fall of 1919, typhus began to destroy the Galician army en masse, which greatly affected its combat effectiveness. On November 6, 1919, she agreed to transfer to Denikin's command. And on February 7, 1920, the Ukrainian Galician Army of Chervonaya went over to the Bolshevik side. But already in April, part of the UGA rebelled and returned to the ranks of Petliura's army, part, tried to break into the UPR units, was captured by the Poles, part continued to fight in the ranks of the Red Army, was defeated and also found itself captured by the Poles. Furthermore, after the tumult in Choga, many Galicians who remained in the red rear were pushed back by the Cheka. This is where the history of the Galician army ended. As for its aviation, which was announced as the main component of the future series, it really existed, numbering several dozen "what not" planes (Latonsky regiment). The pilots were former officers of the Tsarist and Austro-Hungarian armies. Basically, like all aviation of that time, it played the role of aerial reconnaissance, sometimes manually dropping bombs on the enemy.
