"Following the traces left by the base, giving a new look to the military heritage" is our core philosophy. The Black Cat Squadron , formally the 35th Squadron, was a squadron of the Republic of China Air Force that flew the U-2 surveillance plane out of Taoyuan Air Base in northern Taiwan, from 1961 to 1974.Each of the 35th Squadron's operational missions had to be approved by both the US and the Taiwan/ROC presidents beforehand, the "Best Kept Secret" in the Air Force. The main content of the works is information about facilities, storybooks, base maps, Postage stamp and other promotional materials.

黑貓中隊,正式名稱為第 35 中隊,是中華民國空軍的一個中隊,於 1961 年至 1974 年將 U-2 偵察機從台灣北部的桃園空軍基地起飛。第 35 中隊的每一項作戰任務都必須事先得到兩方人員的批准,這是空軍中“最保守的秘密”,這也是為何我們選擇黑貓作為主角的原因。七套故事冊每一冊都擁有四張幻燈片,共28張紀載當時發生的故事,背面掃描qr-code即可閱讀照片中出現的資訊與介紹。 搭配地圖與郵票、明信片,讓基地能在未來作為古蹟參觀時供大眾閱讀。 其中命名也特別經過設計,空軍的戰鬥往往在空中短短幾分鐘便結束,飛機間機翼的追逐,是一個個空軍飛行員駕駛偵查機與戰鬥機飛往空中翱翔而起。 同時也啟發我們對於這段故事的羈絆。 「追逐基地留下的痕跡,傳達大眾對歷史的關注、關心文化保存的議題、賦予軍事遺產新外貌」是我們的核心理念。希望透過品牌吸引目光之餘也能夠行使教育的意義,訴說空軍基地與飛行員的記憶。
