PLAAF, Red 3429, China, January 1967
In the early 1950s China acquired a number of Soviet built MiG-17 Fresco A Day-Fighters and began to produce their own version of this aircraft design, the Shenyang J-5 and F-5 for export. In 1966 Mao Zedong was the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and began a Cultural Revolution. Sayings in support of Mao's ideology appeared every where including on aircraft. This aircraft wears "Long Live the great Communist Party", "No fear of Sacrifice, get rid of all obstacles to gain victory" "Mao Zedong".
