hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Secondary Sources. Other Sources and Author's Acknowledgments. A Note on Aircraft Serial Numbers. Glossary. Notes. Index. After Mao's communists took control of mainland China in 1949, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency developed an uneasy partnership with the nationalist Chinese government on Taiwan for covert air operations over the mainland dropping agents and propaganda, and collecting signals, imagery and nuclear intelligence. . But Communist China s air defenses reacted with determination and ingenuity to the unwelcome intruders. Ten of the aircraft B-17s, B-26s, and P-2s were lost and over 100 aircrew killed in this epic yet hardly-known struggle, told in English for the first time Chris Pocock is a British writer specializing in aerospace, defense, and intelligence. He was also the defense editor of Aviation International News. Each chapter is punctuated with vivid, first-hand accounts from the participants Chinese nationalists, Chinese communists, and Americans. The book also describes how during the Vietnam War, America subcontracted many of its covert air operations to the same group of airmen from Taiwan. Extracts from some of the author's published remarks: I'd like to consider this the last great untold spy plane story of the Cold War. It's a U.S. sponsored program which did 585 overflights of Communist territory in 14 years, during the Cold War, in which over a 100 aircrew lost their lives, in which a B-17 was flown over denied territory once for 19 hours, in which the aircraft that succeeded the B-17 in this project was capable of five different missions electronic intelligence, communications intelligence, nuclear sampling, photo and radar imaging, and dropping agents and propaganda. This aircraft was flown by Poles and Czechs and Chinese, as well as by Americans. This is an airplane, possibly the only one that had a U.S. designation but never actually served in the U.S. Air Force. And, so yes, it's the Black Bat squadron, a joint venture, effectively, between the U.S. and Taiwan, and specifically between the Central Intelligence Agency and the Republic of China Air Force. I'll probably call it the Chinese Air Force tonight because that's what it was called at the time, in the days when the U.S. recognized Taiwan as the legitimate government of China, albeit in exile. The squadron number was the 34th and the motto and their patch, which you'll see in a minute, was a black bat because they flew at night. That was the operation over China. There is the air base they flew out of on the west coast of Taiwan, all of these airplanes provided by the U.S. and actually remaining U.S. property. This is what they did, and this is their patch flying by the Big Dipper at night and this is the Red Curtain that they penetrated. That is the symbology that the Chinese designed themselves in about the fifth year of this operation. It was a covert operation and certainly the U.S. wanted it to remain a covert operation, but the Nationalists in Taiwan couldn't resist publicizing it. …
