All about the American Volunteer Group commanded by Claire Chennault. The AVG Flying Tigers defended Burma and China with their shark-faced P-40 Tomahawks in the opening months of the Pacific War, December 1941 - July 1942.

ANNALS OF THE FLYING TIGERS

Molesworth P-40 Duel at the Warbird's Forum
"Carl Molesworth's book has a few flaws but it is well written, interesting, and its artwork and illustrations are a visual delight. Despite this reviewer's barbs, Carl's book will be highly interesting and useful to many readers. For those interested but who have not ventured deeply; or at all, into the aerial conflict in China it may be considered an essential addition to their library. For many others the illustrations and accounts of combat in 1944-1945 will be interesting and worthwhile." Read Richard Dunn's review

Shantih (peace) to Dick Rossi of the AVG 1st Squadron, who died April 17. His death leaves only three men now alive who flew the P-40 in combat for the American Volunteer Group.

Amazon has come up with an admirable e-book reader called the Kindle, with a keyboard and wireless access. I've converted five books to the new format, including Remains: A Story of the Flying Tigers and Olga Greenlaw's The Lady and the Tigers. Check it out! If you don't want a dedicated e-book reader, you can get much the same effect with the free Mobipocket software for Windows computers and portable devices like the Blackberry and Smartphone. Remains and The Lady and the Tigers are likewise available in this format.
