ROCAF RF-101C?

The two RF-101 at Taoyuan Aviation Museum and at ROCAF Museum in Kangshan were suspected as two C models painted with fake A-model serial numbers because both aircraft have the small air intake on the leading edge of the vertical fin which is a distinctive feature of the C model. The three official USAF photos below show the air intake on the RF-101C, which is indicated by an arrow.

ROCAF F-5A/B Program in CINCPAC History Series (Part 1)

Almost three years ago, I wrote about ROCAF F-5A/B, based on US Military Assistance Program Master File. The number of acquired aircraft given by the source was inconsistent with the number provided by CAF2000, an expert on ROCAF F-5.

On ROCAF F-104A/B

I would like to share with you the information on ROCAF F-104A/B that I founded in the declassified series of Commander in Chief Pacific Command History. The 1960 History covers ROCAF’s first batch of 25 F-104A/B. Noteworthy is that it refers to the “reinstallation of M-61 20mm guns on these aircraft.” Does this imply that the US government had intended previously to deliver these aircraft without guns?

Old Photos of ROCAF C-119 (and More)

Taipei Air Station has some photos of ROCAF C-119, taken in 1958 while they were at Tainan AFB. These photos are unique in that they were taken shortly after these C-119 had been delivered to Taiwan. There are also photos of the 1st Fighter Group F-84G and various American aircraft at Tainan AFB. A must see!

Old ROCAF Footages from Taiwan’s National Digital Archives Program (Part 1)

If you can read Chinese, you may want to check out the archive from the National Digital Archives Program for more footages about the ROC military. Note that I used “ROC” instead of “Taiwan” because these footages dated back to the old days when the ROC government still ruled the mainland. For people who do not understand Chinese, I am providing hyperlinks to the digitized videos that I deem interesting. I will do my best to translate the Chinese description into English. Here is the first batch:
