Item description from seller

History of the formation and achievements of the WWII American airmen who comprised the Flying Tigers. The fighter squadrons that made up the legendary Tigers provided a lifeline of supplies into western China to support Chinese forces against Japanese invaders. Organized before the US had entered the war, they were nominally part of the air force of the Republic of China, but were led and manned by volunteer American servicemen. Fully bilingual English/Chinese text. A never previously owned or read volume from our bookshop stock. Tape residue marks on FEPs from former bookshop protective cover. Top corner bumped; otherwise binding and internal pages all clean and unmarked. 149 pp., col. and b&w historical photos throughout. Size: 30 x 23 cm.
