Much of the fascination that Chinese military aviation holds for the analyst and enthusiast stems from the thick veil of secrecy that surrounds it. This uniquely compact yet comprehensive directory serves as a magnificently illustrated; in-depth analysis and directory of modern Chinese air power. It is organized in three parts: the most important military aircraft and their weapons found in Chinese service today; aircraft markings and serial number systems; and orders of battle for the People's Liberation Army Air Force and Naval Air Force. The study includes the latest developments emerging from behind the 'Bamboo Curtain'; including the J-20 stealth fighter program and other indigenous projects that are equipping a rapidly modernizing air arm. The centerpiece consists of almost 100 fully illustrated pages detailing the organizational structure of the Air Force and Naval Aviation; providing an easy-to-use review of all known flying units; their equipment and their markings. No other book has ever attempted to present this level of accuracy in this way: 'Modern Chinese Air Power' portrays the PLAAF and the PLANAF in a degree of detail that was previously unavailable.

I am amazed.By Michael KellyI was surprised to discover this volume. I have not heard of it; and I guess this is just hot off the presses. I read Srila Prabhupada-Lilamrta: A Biography of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada years back; and now this amazing cover that reminded me those days. I am looking forward to finishing it and starting again. Thank you for this gift of Prabhupada Consciousness. If that is what you were looking for; you found it here in concentrated and illustrated form. My only complaint is that it is softcover; if I find hardcover I will add it to my Prabhupada collection.
