Military photographer using lenses to record PLA Air Force's growth

Editor's note: On the occasion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China Military Online selected 3 groups of photos that illustrate various aspects of the Chinese PLA Air Force (PLAAF)'s development during the past years. This is the first group in the series. The PLAAF was officially established on November 11th 1949, and has witnessed tremendous developments, especially in terms of weaponry after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012.
