The American Volunteer Group, or 'Flying Tigers', have remained the most famous outfit to see action in World War II.

Pilots such as 'Pappy' Boyington, R T Smith and John Petach became household names due to their exploits against the Japanese Army Air Force. The AVG legend was created flying the Curtis P-40 Tomahawk and Kittyhawk. This volume dispels the myths surrounding the colours and markings worn by these famous fighters.. Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Laurier, Jim. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall.
