The ace pilots of the Republic of China Air Force have long been
shrouded in mystery and obscurity, as their retreat to Taiwan in
1949 and blanket martial law made records of the RoCAF all but
impossible to access. Now, for the first time, the colourful story
of these aces can finally be told. Using the latest research based
on released archival information and full-colour illustrations,
this book charts the history of the top scoring pilots of the RoCAF
from the beginning of the gruelling, eight-year Sino-Japanese War
to the conclusion of the Civil War against the Chinese Communists.
Beginning as a ragged and very disparate group of planes and pilots
drawn from various provincial air forces, the RoCAF gradually
became standardised and was brought under American tutelage.
Altogether it produced 17 aces who scored kills whilst flying a
startling variety of aircraft, from biplanes to F-86 Sabres.
