Description:
When The Aristes Arrived In Formosa, War Seemed Imminent With Red China. I Flew On To Taoyuan Air Base Where The United States Was Flying In Starfighters And F-104s Manned By Ace Flyers. There Were About 1000 Planes. Within A Month The Air Force Had 10,000 Men Ready For Action. When The Artist Pained This Scene The Fields Were Bars, But Overnight Tye Mushroomed Into A Tent City.
