    Description

    "THE FLYING TIGER--THE TRUE STORY OF GENERAL CLAIRE CHENNAULT AND THE U.S. 14th AIR FORCE" is the fascinating biography of the founder of the legendary Flying Tigers, General Claire Chennault. He was a half-deaf 47 year-old retired USAAF Captain who went to Chia in 1937 to survey Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese Air Force. Little did the world know what he would do to stem the Japanese tide in the Far East! In 7 months the American Volunteer Group--the AVG--fighting a rear-guard action over Burma, China, Thailand and French Indonesia, destroyed 199 planes with another 153 "probable". They dis it with only four pilots flying P-40s! The Flying Tigers! Chennault was no saint! He was a chain-smoking, whiskey drinking womanizer who could fly any aircraft better than anyone! You will get to know him here during and after WWII.
