New York [1987], St. Martin's Press. Black cloth, very clean 335p., many b.w. photos, index, bibliography, 14 x 21.5 cm., sharp dust jacket in mylar protector, crisp copy. FIRST EDITION *** . In July 1941 President Roosevelt signed a secret executive order authorizing the bombing of Tokyo and other Japanese cities. This astounding mission never came off, but what resulted was America's first venture into covert operations against a foreign power. As consolation to the author of this plan, Chennault, Roosevelt gave him an air force of 100 fighter planes and the men to fly them. . Thus the successful Flying Tigers were born. Drawing on unpublished diaries of A.V.G. [AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS GROUP] "FLYING TIGERS" members, personal interviews, material from military archives and Chennault's personal papers, Schultz writes a fascinating and definitive account of Chennault and his legendary pilots." . * This work has lots of nice photos, some of China: Kunming and Kweilin [Guilin], and several Flying Tiger pilots and their Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk fighter airplanes. . *** Color photos are posted to our website. . * .
