Organization
Flying Tigers
The First American Volunteer Group of the Republic of China Air Force, nicknamed the Flying Tigers, was formed to help oppose the Japanese invasion of China. Operating in 1941–1942, it was composed of pilots from the United States Army Air Corps, Navy, and Marine Corps, and was commanded by Claire Lee Chennault. Their Curtis P-40B Warhawk aircraft, marked with Chinese colors, flew under American control. Recruited under President Franklin Roosevelt's authority before Pearl Harbor, their mission was to bomb Japan and defend the Republic of China, but many delays meant the AVG first flew in combat after the US and Japan declared war.
Flew up and over Burma Road to Rangoon - AVG C roses  mark the  fallen heroes.

Lesser known were the American volunteers with Canadian and Plolish Fighter pilots in the Air Battle of Brittan which successfully stopped the horrendous Nazi bombing of London,
Requiem en pace to all the brave lads.

In retrospect, maybe we should have let the Japanese take China.
