Features: In the early stages of the Korean War, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army suffered fierce attacks from the U.S. Air Force but had no means to retaliate. Liu Yalou was ordered to swiftly establish air force units and deploy them to the battlefield in a very short time. The young Ye Guo, an aerial hero, used unconventional tactics and an "unreasonable" fighting style to repeatedly strike heavy blows against the enemy, turning the U.S. Air Force's carefree play in the skies over Korea into a nightmare from which they could not escape. The Chinese Air Force thus moved from dreams to glory, setting one record after another in the history of world air combat and inscribing the names of countless heroes. This book tells the story of the Chinese Air Force and its rivals over the decades in their struggle for dominance in the blue sky. The plot is full of twists and turns, supported by rich historical materials, making it a thrilling and hard-to-put-down read.
