The American Volunteer Group (AVG), famously known as the Flying Tigers, was a unit of the Republic of China Air Force, recruited from U.S. aviators to fight against Japan before America entered World War II. Flying shark-mouthed P-40 Warhawks, they achieved remarkable success in 1941 - 1942, destroying far more enemy aircraft than they lost. Led by Claire Chennault, their bravery and skill boosted Chinese morale and became legendary. The unit disbanded in mid-1942, with many members joining the U.S. Army Air Forces.
Lt. Greg Boyington was a US Marine Corps flight instructor in Pensacola, Florida, known as one of the hottest fighter pilots. In August 1941, he resigned his commission to join the American Volunteer Group as a Squadron Leader. Arriving in Rangoon in November, he trained on P-40s and served as Vice Squadron Leader in the First Pursuit Squadron. Boyington quickly clashed with AVG leadership. He scored his first victories on 6 February 1942 and flew daring missions over Chiang Mai. Frustrated by reduced credits and poor relations, he resigned from the Flying Tigers on 21 April and returned to the Marines.
Curtiss P-40B Warhawk
Designed to meet a USAAC requirement for a pursuit aircraft, the P-40 Warhawk was first flown on October 14th, 1938. This aircraft was tough, virtually trouble-free and saw continual improvements to arms, armor and engines. The P-40 served in numerous combat areas; often outclassed by its adversaries in speed, maneuverability and rate of climb, it earned a reputation for extreme ruggedness. Its strong construction, heavy firepower, and ability to dive enabled it to compete with enemy fighters, and it was a formidable ground-attack aircraft. P-40s were also flown by the famed Flying Tigers against the Japanese in China.
