Red Dragon ‘Flankers’, China’s Prolific ‘Flanker’ Family
Harpia Publishing Verlags GmbH2022English
254 pg.978-1-950394-10-4Review written by: Rene VerjansAndreas Rupprecht writes cool books! And who says Rupprecht, says China! This is the umpteenth book of him, published by Harpia Publishing. I am really very happy with this publisher and what they have published till now. On their site it states at the category ‘Strategic handbooks’, only 1 book, but, as far as I am concerned, all the books – also this one – can be stated in this category, when it concerns nowadays airforces or other flying army units. As the quality and information value can be rated as ‘good’!
