Narrator: Jonathan YenFrom the acclaimed author, an in-depth account of the legendary World War II combat group the Flying Tigers. In 1940 Pearl Harbor had not yet happened, and America was not yet at war with Japan. But China had been trying to stave off Japanese aggression for three years - and was desperate for aircraft and trained combat pilots. General Chiang Kai-shek sent military aviation advisor Claire Chennault to Washington, where President Roosevelt was sympathetic but knew he could not intervene overtly. Instead he quietly helped Chennault put together a group of American volunteer pilots. This was how the 1st American Volunteer Group - more commonly known as the Flying Tigers - was born.
