Features: The Air Force Flying Corps is a heroic unit with glorious achievements and also the ace corps of the Chinese Air Force equipped with new-generation combat aircraft. The new commander-in-chief Xiao Guangli and the corps political commissar Ji Haosu took office almost simultaneously. When they met, they warmly shook hands and greeted each other while secretly assessing their partner in their hearts. In just a few months, the two military and political leaders, who were initially strangers, independently discovered various problems within the unit and gradually aligned their training philosophies, becoming representatives of bold reforms. The novel revolves around training and safety, the conflict between new equipment and outdated concepts, highlighting the clash of two different ideologies.

Xiao Guangli, Ji Haosu, Chengguo, Wei Shanshe, Si Xiaomian, and others are portrayed so vividly and uniquely that they resemble compounds embedded in an oil painting, each representing perseverance, wisdom, purity, passion, and loss. The novel's depiction of the flight of the new-generation combat aircraft and the maritime rescue is thrilling, immersing readers in the experience and adding a mystical beauty to the chilling sensations.
