Abstract

The article presents a brief interview with Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force pilot Han Decai. He comments on the minimal flight training he received prior to his active duty during the Korean War and discusses how many of his squadron's mission focused on using the zoom climb flight maneuver to attempt to destroy U-2 reconnaissance spy planes with MiG-17 fighter planes.
