The following is a listing of the numbers of reconnaissance aircraft Taiwan received from the US since 1950, compiled from the Military Assistance Program System Master File. Although many aviation researchers/historians here may have known the exact numbers, I give the numbers here anyway because they come from an official source. Note that reconnaissance aircraft received via the CIA are not included.
下表列出了我國從1950年起，經由美援所獲得的偵察機的型式和數量，這些資料來自美國政府的軍事援助計畫的系統主檔。儘管國內外應該已經有許多航空研究專家對於這些飛機型式和數量有深入的研究，我在此列出這些資料，一方面是因為我沒有看過類似的列表，一方面是因為我的資料直接來自美國政府檔案。（註：本表不包括中情局提供的偵察機）

I will post here in this section as it deals with Reconnaissance Aircraft recieved from the USA. I am looking for an RB-57A (s/n 52-1455) that after doing some research through the Air Force Historical group at Maxwell AFB in Alabama, USA…I was informed that this particular A/C might have been sent to Taiwan. I note that Taiwan recieved 2 RB-57A’s pior to 1963 but this particular A/C was in the USA inventory untill 1972.
Anyone know the where about’s of this particular aircraft, if it indeed, it did go to Taiwan? Thank You.
According to the article “RB-57A and RB-57D in Republic of China Air Force Service” by Wai Yip, the RB-57A-1 operated by ROCAF are 52-1427 (5641) and 52-1431 (5642). The particular aircraft you asked about was not one of them. May I ask where your information source is?
