Arranged chronologically by type, the book covers everything from the venerable Cold War-era Chengdu J-7, a third-generation fighter still in service, to the J-10 "Vigorous Dragon" multirole fighters that patrol the Taiwan Strait today. The guide is illustrated with accurate profile artworks of some of the best - and least - known aircraft, such as the Shenyang J-8 interceptor, which served in the late Cold War in great numbers and was a copy of the Soviet MiG-21; the antitank armed Harbin Z-9 helicopter; the Shenyang J-15 carrier-based fourth-generation multirole fighter; the Caihong 4 surveillance drone; and the latest Chengdu J-20. "Modern Chinese Military Aircraft" is an essential reference guide for modelers and enthusiasts of military aviation.
