I haven't found one yet, and I've been looking. I suspect that very few primary sources on the CNAF have been translated into English. There's not much from the Japanese perspective, either. One volume I'll recommend is Wanda Cornelius and Thayne Short Ding Hao/America's Air War in Cina 1937-1945 c. 1980, ISBN 1-6554-523-0. However, it's limited mainly to Chennault, the AVG and the 23rd Fighter Group. The '1937' part covers mostly what hotels Chennault stayed in and how his interviews with the Generalissimo went. There's practically nothing about the CNAF, and not even much about the 14th Air Force as a whole or the Hump airlift. A good monograph on the Sino-Japanese air war is much needed. |

Mark R. Peattie's Sunburst: The Rise of Japanese Naval Air Power, 1909-1941 is the only book I know of that covers that period. I have not had an opportunity to read it yet, but it is evidently focused on the naval aspects of air power. Preview on google Books: link Amazon description of book: link Ron |
