A History of Chinese Aviation

Lennart Andersson is a Swedish historian/researcher, who’s an expert on the period between the wars. Recently he published “A History of Chinese Aviation: Encyclopedia of Aircraft and Aviation in China until 1949”.
Highly recommended about a topic which is difficult to find info on.
