Re: Now available: Flying Tigers: Claire Chennault and all that

This excellent book is the definitive work on the Flying Tigers (First American Volunteer Group). If you haven't read the first edition and have a modicum of interest in the subject this edition is a must. If you have the first edition be advised that Dan had added new material from published and unpublished sources yet managed to reduce the text. In soft cover at USD 15.95 it is a bargain.

If you don't know Dan, he is an excellent author of fiction as well as non-fiction. A movie was based on one of his books.

For those really intersted in this subject try to find Russell Whelan's 1942 Flying Tigers which is excellent from that era. Also Alan Armstrong's Preemptive Strike expands on what Chennault was really trying to accomplish. The Flying Tigers were just the first phase of a larger vision.
