Chang Liyi (Chinese: 張立義; pinyin: Zhāng Lìyì; 7 November 1929 – 12 June 2019), also known as Jack Chang, was a pilot in the Republic of China Air Force with the rank of major. A member of the CIA-trained Black Cat Squadron, he flew the American U-2 reconnaissance aircraft to spy on China's nuclear program. He was shot down on 10 January 1965 over Baotou, Inner Mongolia, and held in detention until late 1969. After being released from custody, Chang was sent back to his hometown on the mainland. In 1982 he was given permission to leave the mainland, but Taiwan refused to allow him entry until 1990, and he lived in the United States with his family in the interim.
