English term or phrase: The Chinese Liberation Army's Air Force
I need the precise formulation as spelled in Pinyin (without diacritical marks, unfortunately) of this organisation. All I have is the dubious Wade-Giles rendering "Ching-kuo Min Taie-Fang-Tsun Pu-tai"

Thank you. I assume the "Budui" in question be part of the formal name, otherwise the Russian would not have had "Pu-tai" in it -- it all ties in nicely.

Hi Mr. Skipp, it\'s a pity I went to bed too early yesterday evening. You really don\'t need Budui. the \"kong\" means air and the \"jun\" Means Force. Budui means particular military units. If you can consult any dictionaries, English-Chinese, or Chinese-English. You will find Kongjun=Air Force. Lujun=Land Force(here \"Lu\" means land. Good Luck!
