Summary

"This report draws on a wide variety of Chinese primary sources to provide an overview of how the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) selects and trains what it calls its elite fighter pilots. One of the most important lessons learned has been the PLAAF's desire to move toward less scripted training"--Back cover.
