Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. 144 pages. Decorative endpapers. Author's Note. Illustrations (some in color). Maps. 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.
