Flying Tigers

The Flying Tigers. First rate American pilots who in search of adventure went to help the Chinese break Japanese air superiority. Under the command of Claire Lee Chennault they were one of the first to strike back against Japan after the attack at Pearl Harbor. On Christmas day 1941 Bill Reed took part in a major battle that was to mark the change of tide in the domination of the air over Burma and China.
