- The Black Bats: CIA Spy Flights Over China from Taiwan 1951-1969
Guest Speaker: Chris Pocock
The story of the Black Bats – the 34th Squadron of the Republic of China Air Force – is one of courage and determination, teamwork, and technical innovation. The CIA will not declassify its history of these remarkable operations. However, through the dedication of Chris Pocock and co-author Clarence Fu Jing Ping the story has been reconstructed by undertaking research and interviews in Taiwan and the US.
