This is an excellent story of one of the renaissance men of aviation, a man who single-handedly changed the way we fight in the air: from tactics to early warning networks. To the Chinese, the hawk-faced, leather-skinned American was "Chennote Chiang Chun," and his men were "Tigers"--The famous Flying Tigers who plunged into China in 1941 to help in the desperate struggle against the invading Japanese. They were only a handful of men with a hundred outmoded planes, but their leader was one of the most daring and ingenious men who ever flew in war. Crusty and cantankerous, worshipped by his men, Claire Chennault rapidly created one of the most effective fighting units of all time. Chennault was handcuffed almost from the start, being labeled as a maverick and cast aside much too early in a career that would eventually transform itself into the world of civilian air transportation with the flying tiger line. General Scott, who served under Chennault in China, deals here, most interestingly, with the military exploits of his commanding officer and also with the bitter political conflicts that developed with General Stilwell.
