Chinese Aircraft: China's Aviation Industry Since 1951 ReviewThis is for sure the most comprehensive compendium on that topic in the West and most likely it will be that for long. As already mentioned by other reviews it is very well illustrated, well written and the biggest PLUS are the magnificent side drawings.
But sadly there are several grave mistakes like "strangely" shaped noses on the J-8II and J-10 profiles (looks like a printing error as every second one is mis-shaped) and some designations and especially pictures are wrong: (only some examples) the MiG-15 is still called J-2, even if it was never produced in China and therefore received no Jian-designation, again as in the MiG-21-book there are some errors on the J-7 projects including the fan-art F-7X and a JZ-7, which never existed.
A big MINUS is the use of several photoshoped pictures like a J-10 prototype with conformal tanks, 4 LGB's and a target-designator pod and another one with chin-mounted PL-12's, there are no J-10 operated by the PLA-NA and so on.
In my opinion the biggest disappointment is the lack of any new information on "secret" projects and the use of unconfirmed rumors, which were discussed in Chinese aviation forums as "suggestions" or "assumptions" simply taken as granted), esp. the comparison of the once proposed JH-8 with the projected Su-15Sh.
Also the promised "fully described J-10 family of indigenousness fighters" is nothing more than the regular CAC J-10 with a two-page complement of colour-profiles ... some of them wrong as said and the "fact" that the Lavi-documents were transferred to CAC, which was never admitted by both sides.
Besides these and some other minor errors I'm still impressed, as it is a reference or overview even for lesser known types but a lot has to be taken with a grain of salt.
