One day in 1997, when my website (then called Military Aviation of ROC and hosted on my school’s server) had been up and running for about two years, I received an email from an unknown address. It turned out to be from General Hsichun Mike Hua (third from left in the photo above). He told me that he was one of the first ROCAF U-2 pilots and that I misspelled his English name on my U-2 page. I was so surprised and excited! After all, I was just Mr. Nobody but he was a distinguished pilot, a PhD in Aeronautics Engineering, a three-star general, and the former director of AIDC!<\/p>\n
Throughout these years, we exchanged email occasionally. When I was about to publish my first book, he was kind enough to write a prologue for it. Late last year, after answering my question about when the above photo was taken (it’s 1959), he shared with me his webpages with collections of his past work. I thought many people would be very interested in knowing more about his achievement; so I asked if I could post the URLs here and his answer was OK. Below are the links to his publications and speeches and related clippings. General Hua would like to know if you have any comment. So if you do, please post here.<\/p>\n
