Description
The American Volunteer Group, or 'Flying Tigers', have remained the most famous outfit to see action in World War II.
Manned by volunteers flying American aircraft acquired from the British, the AVG fought bravely in the face of overwhelming odds in China and Burma prior to the US entry into World War II.
Pilots such as 'Pappy' Boyington, R T Smith and John Petach became household names due to their exploits against the Japanese Army Air Force.
The AVG legend was created flying the Curtis P-40 Tomahawk and Kittyhawk.
This volume dispels the myths surrounding the colours and markings worn by these famous fighters.
