Flying Tiger: The True Story of General Claire Chennault and the U.S. 14th Air Force in China Tapa blanda - 2011
de Jack Samson
Descripción de contraportada
When a sickly, half-deaf, forty-seven-year-old retired U.S. Army Air Corps captain went to China in 1937 to survey Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese Air Force, little did the world know this would be the man to stem the Japanese tide in the Far East. Almost every military expert predicted his handful of pilots of the American Volunteer Group would not last three weeks. Yet in seven months in 1942, the AVG--fighting a rear-guard action over Burma, China, Thailand, and French Indonesia--destroyed a confirmed 199 planes, with another 153 probables as well. They lost only four pilots and twelve P-40s in air combat, and sixty-one on the ground.This definitive biography of General Claire Chennault offers a fascinating inside look at the man behind the Flying Tigers. Unlike Eisenhower and MacArthur, Chennault was no saintly military leader. He was a chain-smoking, bourbon-drinking, womanizing man. He was the kind of leader his men knew could and did fly better than they. But first and last, he was a fighter--a tough, single-minded warrior who was never confused about who the enemy was in Asia, regardless of what the State Department thought.Following Chennault from his command of the Fourteenth U.S. Army Air Force during World War II to his intriguing postwar years in China and Formosa, where his Civilian Air Transport (CAT) became the scourge of the Red Chinese, The Flying Tiger is an extraordinary portrait of one of America's greatest military commanders.
