Jiang Ying Mei Jianji Shibie Shouce [Jiang, American and British Naval and Aircraft Recognition Manual], 1956

A rare Cold War-era naval intelligence manual issued by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy, compiling detailed recognition data on naval vessels and military aircraft of the Republic of China (Taiwan), the United States, and the United Kingdom. Published in 1956 amid rising tensions across the Taiwan Strait and increasing Western military presence in East Asia, this manual served as an internal reference tool for Chinese naval personnel to accurately identify and assess the capabilities of potential enemy forces.
