Chen Tiger

Has anyone read the accounts of the Flying Tigers and Civil Air Transport?
Some here may wonder about the “avatar” I use. Have you ever read an account of its history?
If you have time to check out some of the links, then please offer your comments.
I suggest you do some research on the Flying Tigers, General Chennault, his wife Chen Xiangmei (now residing in Washington, D.C.), and the Civil Air Transport origins of a little thing called “Air America”. Even though it was an ugly time in the 20th century, noble motives were being carried out by honorable people.

I think you have asked one of the best questions that could be ask. I have been checking this question to see how the nickle gang would handle it. Looks like they will ignore it. You ask so I feel you know, these men volunteered to go to a part of the world and fight to live. But they also had to fight the elements and fight to have the things to keep them alive and able to run from the Japanese might. Some of the movies glorified these people but never showed the way they lived, from drinking and trying to enjoy to living with the squirts and trying to stay alive. They had some of everything they needed but also made the most powerful military in the world at that time want them dead. Why did these men want to live the way they did and piss in the face of the Japanese Army and Air power? All for some people who could not protect themselves? Maybe but maybe more. There were some men who made history and tales in this group. Talk about what these men did, look at where the F-4 Corsair and the “Black Sheep”came from. There were some real leaders in the “Flying Tigers” flying a bunch of beat up P-40s. Air America was a different bunch of people, but you can take nothing away from them.
