Flying tigers: Chennault in China.
1971
"We began at Toungoo in July 1941 with a kindergarten for teaching bomber pilots how to fly fighters." Within a few months Claire Chennault had welded his men into a first rate air guerilla force, bombing and strafing in the service of China. Known as the Flying Tigers, they were spurred on by a reward of 500 dollars for every Japanese plane downed. - Back cover.
