14th Fighter Division (People's Republic of China)
The Fourteenth Fighter Division (Chinese 第14歼击机师) is a Fighter aircraft unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).
It was formed in February 1951 at Beijing Nanyuan Airport[1] from elements of the disbanding 95th Division. Stationed at Nanchang, Jiangxi.[2] The division fought in Korea, as a mixed MiG-9/MiG-15 fighter unit.[2] Started its second combat tour in April 1953 and ceased combat in July 1953.[3] It appears that in September 1992 the 146th Regiment of the disbanding 49th Air Division may have become the 42nd Regiment.
The 14th Fighter Division is composed of:[4]
- 40th Regiment Nanchang/Xiangtang (J11; Su-27UBK)
- 41st Regiment Wuyishan
- 42nd Regiment Zhangshu (J7E)
