Paperback / softback
Description
"What God abandoned, these defended / And saved the sum of things for pay" In the bleak winter of 1941-1942, no American or British force could stem the tide in Southeast Asia, as the Philippines, Thailand, Malaya, and Singapore fell to the victorious Japanese.
Only in Burma was there a ray of hope. There, over beleaguered Rangoon, a few dozen Americans clawed Japanese warplanes from the sky for a cash bounty from the Chinese government.
Wearing mismatched uniforms, with Chinese insignia, and flying cast-off fighter planes, they did what no other air force seemed able to do, and won immortality as the Flying Tigers.
Daniel Ford wrote the definitive history of the American Volunteer Group, as it was formally known.
Here, he has collected five e-books about the Flying Tigers into an omnibus that details the AVG's planes, pilots, and history as remembered in the United States and in Japan.
An essential collection for every admirer of the Flying Tigers.
Revised and updated 2020.
