Magic Dragon Books - Aviation, military and history

Besides IT, military aviation and history is a big part of my life and reading materials since I was in elementary school. In the past years, I wrote and translated articles either in Chinese or English through various publishing medias, digital or printed. I also get to know other people who have the same interest and expertise and become good friends.

Some of them are specialized in the Republic of China (ROC) air force history, either during the war with Japan or after 1945 with Communist China, including secret reconn missions which only been published or heard in recent years.

Magic Dragon Books is an on line book store to bring you these military aviation history unknown to most of the world in Chinese or English. I am not part of the company or business operation, neither details of the company itself. I know this due to a respectable and long time friend who dedicated himself in this field for years.

On the other hand, I always believe history has multiple faces and we can only understand more from various sources. Some of the ROC air force operations involved missions with PLA. Compare to the influence red China has to the world, it it more important than ever to bring up the stories from the other side, not to correct anything, but to provide a different angle, data sources or point of view.
